I know people have been trying to figure this out forever, but how old is he? In the movie, he has 374 consecutive employee-of-the-month awards for working at the Krusty Krab, which would mean he has worked there for at least 31 years and 2 months. Because of labor laws, this puts his minimum age around 52 years, 2 months. However, Patrick is said to be only 23 years old. I'm confused.
