How to approach it
Build a map before you build a list. Sweep the territories where an authority has to assess a person: paid work, transport, money and benefits, courts and family matters, health and the body, weapons and public office. In each one, ask who signs the authorisation and what they verify, since the age floor tends to sit in the paperwork rather than in the activity. When several phrasings surface, keep the most specific one you can defend, because points go to the pick that the fewest players reached. Rule out anything held up only by house rules, insurers or school policy, and anything where the number is custom rather than statute. Specificity and dullness win together: the more bureaucratic a phrase sounds, the less likely the crowd typed it.
Get a hint
Start from the machinery of regulation rather than from daily life: authorisations, credentials, statutory rights and protected activities usually carry an age floor somewhere in the fine print.
A little more
Narrow the field by gatekeeper, meaning a licensing board, a court, a benefits agency or an employer's inspector, and ask what each one verifies before granting access or money.
One step further
The richest seam is the unglamorous one: credentials attached to a single trade, conditions bolted onto a benefit or a public appointment, and thresholds buried in criminal or family law that almost nobody looks up.

Why these answers count
The distribution says more than any single entry, since 403 of the 440 recorded answers cleared the sixty-point bar. Only one submission reached the top band, and it was a narrow, faintly archaic licence that few players would ever think to type: Falconry license (100). Behind it sat a dense middle: 315 answers tied at 85, a band built from precise, checkable things such as Airline pilot (85), Barber (85) and CPA license (85), each one specific enough to be checked against a statute and familiar enough that hundreds of players found it. The remaining 87 landed at 60, the fate of picks that arrive first and arrive everywhere at once. Rarity is the entire scoring engine here: the game pays for the answer the crowd missed, not for the answer that happens to be truest. So the 85 band is crowded precisely because it is the zone of competent, well-specified replies, and only a genuinely obscure item that still clears the legal bar breaks above it.
