There is no written rule.
The birth dates and even years of early Popes are frequently not available.
The youngest Pope was probably either
+ Pope Benedict IX who became Pope at an unknown age between 11 and 20
+ Pope John XII who was 18 at the beginning of his papacy
In modern times, Popes have generally been elected at older ages. Today a man of 65 years is generally considered too young to be Pope.

If someone comes to your door to try and sell their religion to you, do you shut the door in their face or go to the toilet? Or both?
