Remember in Desolation of Smaug when Thranduil said, "100 years is a mere blink in the life of an Elf."?
I read on this website (http://askmiddlearth.tumblr.com/post/49417224906/thranduils-age) that Thranduil is at least 5,480 years old. From his statement above, we can calculate that his life so far is 5480/100 = 54.8 blinks long. In other words, he is as old as the time it takes to blink about 55 times.
Judging by the stopwatch and assuming I blink about the average speed, I calculate Thranduil's actual age to be about 35 seconds old. Which is not right, but I was bored.
