Remember that he was 212 at the start of Methuselah's Children. And *much* older by the last book he appeared in.

Yeah, we decided to divide the number of candles by five, remembering how we nearly set the ceiling on fire last time we trapped him into attending. :-^)

That's why they make those number candles. I used a 6 candle and a 0 candle when I turned 60.
So for Woody, you'd just need a 1, 0 and 5.
And next year you re-use the one and zero and swap in a six.

I use binary, so someone 105 years old would need 7 candles, with lit candles representing 1s and unlit candles representing 0s.
