Indexing an age over 130
Should I put in 130 or leave it blank?

Since the max age is 130, mark it blank.

Are you sure you read this right? I can't read the image myself, but I did a quick google search and it seems that the ability to survive to 130 years is only theoretical. The closest on record is 122 years.

No, that's not likely to be the actual age, but yes, that is what it actually says. It's handily underlined in the screenshot: "ciento treinta i siete", which Mr. Google assures me does, indeed, mean 137. (It should apparently correctly be spelled "ciento treinta y siete", but it sounds the same either way.)
I don't know why the indexing field has a hard limit like this. Do they want us to index what's written or not?

@Julia Szent-Györgyi In all fairness, they probably never expected the limit to be reached for a real index. Maybe it's to keep people from screwing around?
