Ten years from now, Tim will be twice as old as Jane was when Mary was nine times as old as Tim.

Originally posted by BowmannI wonder how many candles there were on the bday cake in the first few years after that person's birth. Maybe some antimatter candles?
Simple. In fifteen years they'll be 10.
Anonther interesting aspect of this is, that if you make puzzles where the different ages are expressed by roots and pulling roots of negativ ages will leave you with a real and/or complex part of the persons age. can you come up with one bowmann? 😛
