"My grandson is about as many days as my son is weeks, and my grandson is as many months as I am in years. My grandson, my son and I together are 160 years. Can you tell me my age in years?"

I'm not even going to attempt to answer that, the question alone is confusing enough.

It's not that hard (especially if you know linear algebra). It's just that the numbers involved get a little big.

*prepares to walk away*

What? You don't mean you want me to spoil the answer already, do you?

Grandpa is 96 years old.

96? How?

"My grandson is about as many days as my son is weeks, and my grandson is as many months as I am in years. My grandson, my son and I together are 160 years. Can you tell me my age in years?"

Grandson is then 96 months old, < 2 years.

Grandson is as many days (96 * 30 = 2880) as the son's weeks (2880 / 52 = 55.3)

Son (55) + Grandson (2) + Grandpa (96) = 153

I say 101.

Grandson is 1, 3 weeks shy of being 2. Let's make him 2.

101 gives you 3030 days. 3030/52 puts the son at 58.2 years.

58 + 2 + 100 = 160.

How come when Admins. edit their posts after others have posted, it doesn't indicate they've edited like it does for a normal person?

gekko 01-09-2003 09:51 PM

Cause we special.

Actually, it does, or should. You just get 2 minutes to edit your post, without the message popping up. I actually edited mine to a ..., when I realized my math was off, and got the right answer and had it up in < 1 minute.

You're not allowed to round, are you?
