Brain Teasers
Guess My Age
I've had a very peculiar life. For the first quarter of my life, I played no sports at all. After that, I only played one sport at a time.
After the first quarter, I played only baseball for ten years. I got tired of that so I switched to only playing tennis for nine years. Next, for the past eight years, I've only been running. How old am I?

Hint
Add up the years after the first quarter to find the last 3 quarters.Answer
I am 36 years old.10+9+8=27
27/(3/4)=36

I thought it was pretty easy but I enjoy math that doesn't have me hitting things around me.

Just like NTaliesen, Math was my favorite subject. Got this fairly easy, but still enjoy having to pull out a sheet of paper and do a few figures! Keep it up!

This is a very average teaser, based on a tired and overused principle, and with only a single fraction. There is nothing novel or clever about this, yet it has a rating (at the time I rated it) of 2.76 on the fun scale. I don't get it.
This is neither hard nor interesting.
