It would have been nice to have seen the word "sedicenni" (sixteen-year-olds) before this exercise appeared. It was impossible to guess based on the dictionary hints and previous lessons.

    Why not loro hanno sedici anni?

          I'm wondering this too. Sounds like a good translation but maybe not idiomatic?

            Yet another idiomatic expression tested without any prior introduction.

              "Old" without an "s" !!! and perhaps "year" with an "s" ...???
