I was counting beginning in year one. So sometime during year one Tom 
discovered who he was and began looking for the chamber. He would be 
11 (1st year), 12 (2nd year),....up to 15 (5th year--therefore 
searching for 5 years). But as I mentioned in another post we don't 
know when Tom was born so he could have been 16 like you mention. 
Thanks for your reply!
