Nope.

The answer to the riddle is:

A = 2 years old => double the age of B = 1 year old
next year, A was only 1,5 years older than B, so:

A=3 years old => 1,5 the age of B = 2 years old.

So C was just a trick?

Yeah, it was. It was there to distract you! Muahahahaha.

But you said they were parents! No fair.

A and B are married. A tells the child, C (12 years old), that they were once twice as old as B and the next year they were only 1.5 times as old. What age is B talking about?

A told C that they were once twice as old as B. It´s a question where you have to find the solution by thinking and trying not by looking at the whole question.

I’m literal!! Njhhjhcuhfy!

Yeah, but in some years you will get questions like these to answer.

I sat down and tied my shoe backwards, took off a shoe and put another one on. Took off another and put the old shoe on. What shoes am I wearing?

X-1+1-1+1 =X

0 or 1

You’re wearing the first pair of shoes.

And:

X - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 = X

-1 + 1 - 1 + 1 = X - X

-2 + 2 = X - X

0 = 0

I´m bad at that kind of stuff. I don´t even know what this is called, but this is my weakness.

It’s called equations eg.

5 + X = 7
X = 7 - 5
X = 2

Yeah, that´s easy, but the ones we did in school with 2 or 3 unknown numbers are awful.

I love those. Test me. I can do that at Grade 11/12 level.

I don´t know any of them.


X+75-9x*3=Y-Z+3
