Two trains leave a station at the same time, one headed east and the other headed west. My oldest son is on the eastbound train traveling at 95 mph, my youngest daughter is on the westbound train traveling at 60 mph. If both trains leave at noon and pass my husband at 3 PM, how old am I?
Answer: Older than I act and younger than I feel.
I am crying FØUL on this one! Not enough facts given to calculate! We need some additional fact.
Unknown, your age = X
Son's age is X - 20
Daughter's age is X - 34
Husband's age is X + 16
Husband was 36 when the son was born and 50 when the daughter was born. Daughter was 14 when the son was born.
What we CAN calculate is that the two trains left from two different stations and headed toward each other. The two stations are 465 miles apart. Your husband was standing/sitting/laying down/standing on his head 285 miles away from the station the east bound train left from and he is 180 miles from the station the west bound train left from.
Ain't "new math" wonderful?
Do I need to draw a picture?
