FOR THOSE THAT LIKE MATH... A mother is 21 years older than the son. In 6 years, the son will be 5 times younger than his mother. Question: Where is the father? *This CAN be solved, is not as hard as you think! **DON'T scroll down at once and look at the answer! First we'll solve it together :) BUT: You need to pay a lot of attention to the question: where is the father? You should find the answer alone but you also have the answer down. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. The answer: The boy has today "X" years.The mother has today "Y" years. We know the mother is 21 years older than the son. ===> X+21=Y We know that in 6 years the boy will be 5 times younger than his mother. From where we get this next equation: ===> 5(X+6)=Y+6 5X+30 = X+21+6 5X-X = 21+6-30 4X = -3 X = -3/4 The boy is today -3/4 years old which means -9 months old or even better he'll be born in 9 months from now. ANSWER: the father is ON TOP of the mother... ++++++++++++++++ Special note to Rudy: No need to describe 129 positions which place the father somewhere other than "On Top". Just accept this as a "figurative" rather than "literal" description of the father's precise location. ;^)
