Deathie:
Because, for the life of me, can't figure this out without using google



--- Quote ---A boy and his big sister are sitting around the kitchen table chatting.

"You know Sis, if I took away two years from my age and gave them to you, you'd be twice my age, huh!"
"Well, why don't you just give me one more on top of that? Then I'll be three times your age."

So just how old is each sibling?

Without google.


Also, the answer isn't "Impossible/Cant/0", nor is it that they're both 3 Years old.

There IS an answer.
