How many years are in a score?

A score means twenty. This old counting unit comes from times when people tracked in sets of twenty. So a score equals 20 years, and phrases like “four score and seven years ago” are interpreted as 4×20 plus 7, which is 87 years. That’s why the number of years in a score is twenty.
