Of the nine 20th-century popes, their average age at the time of election was 65 years, with John XXIII the oldest at 76 and John Paul II the youngest at 58.
If a new pope is not selected after 12 to 13 days, the cardinals may choose to allow selection of a new pope by a simple majority (i.e., 50% plus one).
