As a counterbalance to the quiz with the 6 youngest,lets name the 6 oldest. No looking up.
I’d guess Reagan, Eisenhower, Jackson, W.H. Harrison, Hayes, and Monroe.
You have 2.
Completely off the top of my head:
Washington
Reagan
FDR
LBJ
Eisenhower
John Adams
I’m not too confident.
You have 2
The first presidents’ bodies have got to be quite old by now, so I’m guessing:
Washington
Adams
Jefferson
Madison
Monroe
J.Q.Adams
Reagan
William Henry Harrison (not just because he died so soon, I’m pretty sure he was old as hell, too)
James Buchanan (another guy, in addition to Reagan, that was accused of having addled wits)
George HW Bush
Ike Eisenhower
LBJ
George Washington
Damn. Already taken.
Out of curiousity what are the rules here?
Oldest to be elected a first time?
Oldest to be elected at the election time?
Oldest to be sitting president(likely last day of presidency)?
at inauguration
Reagan
Eisenhower
Buchanan
Harding
W.H. Harrison
F. Roosevelt
In order top 10
- Reagan
- Harrison
- Buchanan
- Bush the first
- Taylor
- Ike
- Jackson
- Adams
9.Ford - Truman
Without looking at the other answers:
- Reagan
- Eisenhower
- William Henry Harrison
- Wilson
- FDR
- George H. W. Bush
ETA: What, at inauguration? Scratch FDR, then, and replace with, I dunno, McKinley.

You can’t count.
If you are saying I miscounted ,have at it. But that does not prove I can not count. That would be different.
Working from memory, and in no particular order:
Adams
Reagan
Harrison
Jackson
Taylor
GHW Bush
