Wow I worked something out and got it right im so proud of me!
I think this is just an excuse to get Betty Swollocks mentioned. Right on! Good work Fella!
If there's one bad Betty Swollocks teaser, I haven't heard it!!
No offence to bmotts, but is that all you ever say
sorry offenSe
I finally got one math problem right! This was hard for me - newbie to brain teasers. Thanks for this one!
clever, but easy. Betty Swollocks, took me a second to get. More clever than the teaser, I think.
Took me 5 seconds to solve the teaser and 5 minutes to decipher the spoonerism. Ha Ha!
How can this be rated medium difficulty? It's basic math, given thst x is the youngest age:
x + 4*5 = 3x
20 = 2x
10 = x
x + 4*5 = 3x
20 = 2x
10 = x
