Actually according to JKR Dumbledore is about 150. The books say that he
worked with Flamel *not* that he discovered the Stone with him. The Stone
was, presumably, an independent discovery of Flamel's long before Dumbledore
was born. Since JKR says there is no higher education in the wizarding world
I wonder If Dumbledore was a kind of apprentice to the older and, presumably
 more learned, Flamel?
