only if you assume the drinking age is 21 or the equivalent. An assumption that is true for a small percentage of population of the world for a small fraction of human history
before the Internet killed my attention span, I used to read a lot of science fiction and fantasy novels by a variety of authors. Since then, I’ve watched a lot of anime and read a lot of amateur writing. I don’t have specific sources to cite, but the trope is common enough and recurring enough that I stand by my claim of “generally accepted”.
I guess the 21 being equivalent to 100 years is just an assumption
Which kinda makes the math meaningless cause 73 < 100 requires no calculation.

Which is exactly what the character is doing
it’s a generally accepted assumption in many post-Tolkien fantasy works.
if 100 is the age of adulthood then it is equivalent to 18 in human years
close enough
Gennerelly accepted where ?
In the USA probably because it’s their drinking age
I get the 21 , but I’m not clear about the 100.
