How old do you have to be win a Nobel Prize?

There is no minimum age requirement to win a Nobel Prize.

However, it's worth noting that:

* The youngest Nobel laureate was Malala Yousafzai, who received the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 17.

* The oldest Nobel laureate was Leonid Hurwicz, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics at the age of 90.

* The average age of Nobel laureates is in their 60s.

While age doesn't dictate eligibility, the nature of the Nobel Prize is such that most winners have already made significant contributions to their field over a considerable period.
