Shanel asked this question about The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (The Hunger Games, #0):

Coriolanus Snow was 18 during the 10th Hunger Games in this book. Katniss doesn’t come along until the 74th Hunger Games, making Snow 82 years old. Am I correct in thinking that? (This whole book I didn’t think it was about the ACTUAL President Snow because the dates didn’t seem to add up.)

Alina I did this math in my head last night lol...That's what I thought! Snow was 18 during the 10th Hunger Games, making him 8 when the first Hunger Games …moreI did this math in my head last night lol...That's what I thought! Snow was 18 during the 10th Hunger Games, making him 8 when the first Hunger Games took place. This means that during the 74th Hunger Games, he was indeed 82 (74+8). So he died at 83 in "The Mockingjay," since that was during the 75th Hunger Games...however, some people are saying that Quarter Quells happen twice in one year...so he could be 80. (less)
