I don't know how old he is,
but to the second question:
Why doesn't Bart Simpson age (even after 19 or 20 seasons)

Beethro is not necessarily human, and thus he may age more slowly. Furthermore, only a few years have passed since King Dugan's Dungeon, so he would still likely have maintained his sparkling middle-aged veneer.

However, it is mentioned that Beethro is retired. I don't know at what age Delvers retire, but I guess he's (at least) over 50 years old, taking into account the age of his nephews.

Back when I was making the first version of DROD, I did most of my artwork in MSPaint on an old 16-bit version of Windows. The palette in MSPaint only offered 16 colors at that time, and none of them were flesh tones. (grumble)

I always thought of Beethro as human, and not some weird sort of troll. But the closest I could get to skin was grey. So Beethro got grey skin.

People aren't always forced to retire at a certain age, they often do it after acquiring a fortune, sort of like Beethro did after being payed by Dugan.

Beethro's Teacher is only two levels long, no one has ever seen beyond the first puzzle floor.

EDIT: I just remembered that it was revealed before that point.

ANOTHER EDIT: He's 52 years old.

Don't 333 days make a year on the Eighth? After all, all nine months of thirty-seven days together make 333 days.

Leap year could be: 336.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333.............

So if an Eighth year is 333 days, then on his 52nd birthday, Beethro was about 47.5 Earth years old.

Of course, this assumes that Earth days and Eighth days are the same duration, which they probably aren't.

The Site wrote: Thirty-seven days hath Septender,
Onsuary, Twisuary, and Novender.
All the rest hath... uh.... thirty-seven.
So this rhyme is pointless to remember.
Interestingly enough, I don't find it useless ;)

Beethro looks older than his actual age because of his drinking problem.

All these potions he's abusing are really taking a toll on his health.
