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.
NOW I KNOW THE ANSWER!!!
