I have only had one of these questions so far. Wonder if it is really worth building a solver for....

my fingers don't go up that high!! I like those questions where it's like, a grandfather 50+ and his two grandsons go fishing together, the youngest is half the age of the middle and the middle is the root value of the oldest. The grandfather couldn't be older than 70 and all three are exact numbers. What are the three ages?

Granddad has to be 64. It is the only perfect square between 50 and 70. (7*7==49 & 8*8=64 & 9*9=81).
Makes the older grandson 8.
The youngest 4.

Yeah I think the actual riddle was much harder lol but... I forget how it went. Something about a 14 and a 7yr old. I remember cuz I was asked it in my Freshman year (14 yrs old) and my bro was 7 so I immediately knew the answer (though I was non-chalantly sleeping in the corner lol) the teacher was SHOCKED lol. You don't ask a Freshman a math question like that

it'd taken me a while to do if I wasn't just talking to my bro how this is the only time I'll be 2x as old as him lol. I just forget how the last part went lol.

It may have been a 49 (7*7) yr old cuz at the time my Dad was 49 *_* just a perfect match

7,14,49 is not valid. 14*14 >> the lifespan of a human

Geez, I get the weird mathematical ones. There are chickens and horses on a farm. The total number of legs equal up to 224. How many chickens are there on the farm? :shock:

Hated those in school and it hasn't improved any since then.
