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?

Answer: They can't math.

Without google.


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

There IS an answer.

Big sister?

She's probably older  than him by a few months or something, cause it was the right answer ._.

Heres another one.

A father and son are chatting when the son poses this question: "Dad, I'm 22 now, but just how old are you?"
The father replies, "You wanna know how old your old man is, eh? Hmm, well I tell you what. I'm as old as your age, plus half my age."

How old is the father?

33...

22 + 11 = 33

seriously how did you get 44?

but that would mean he was around 10 when he impregnated someone...

"You wanna know how old your old man is, eh? Hmm, well I tell you what. I'm as old as your age, plus half my age."

If he was 33, that would mean half his age was 16 1/2, not 11.

Rocket was right,

"Your Age" 22 "Plus half my age" 44/2 = 22 + 22 = 44


Anyways, here's another doosey that got to me.

Quote
While walking through a market on vacation, you notice a small stand selling cameras. A camera-and-case set is selling for $310. The seller tells you that the camera cost $300 more than the case itself, and that the case costs the price for the set minus the cost of the camera.
You decide you'd rather wait on buying a care and opt to just buy the case along. You hand the seller a $100 bill and see his eyes light up. Think fast now!
