Let's Talk About Master Splinter and Shredder's Ages During the OT

I'm sure this has probably been discussed at some point in the past, so I apologize for that. While re watching the original TMNT cartoon, one of the things that I've always been curious about is Master Splinter and Shredder's ages. One thing to consider is whether or not 15 years had gone by in between the flashback shown during the first episode, and whenever the current day events of the first episode took place. I guess even though Master Splinter doesn't say that 15 years when by, I still do assume that it did. Master Splinter was supposed to a teacher of The Foot. So I'm guessing that he was already maybe mid 40's. Shredder was supposed to be a student. So I'd say he was probably supposed to be like early 20's? If 15 years had gone by, that would've made Master Splinter about 55-60 years old in the first episode, and Shredder in his late 30's. Does this sound about right?
