Especially when we consider that Poirot retired from the Belgian police force at the start of WWI. If he was 60 then, he would have been 62 when we first met him in 1916 during "The Mysterious Affair at Styles", 93 when he announced his retirement from active work in 1947 after "The Twelve Labours of Hercules", and 121 by the time of his final case, "Curtain"
