And Faramir, according to one of the time lines, was the same age as Sam.

I personally found it interesting that Fatty was as old as Sam. But now one thing concerning Pippin, at least he was definitely 28 when they set out, for he told Bergil next March that he is "almost 29".

Pippin in The Lord of the Rings is the only one of the four hobbits who has not yet come of age, the hobbit age of majority being 33.
