Calling all maths geniuses out there .............

A mother is 21 years older than the child. 6 years from now the mother
will be 5 times as old as the child.

Question : Where's the father?



Try first, before you check the answer below.

















Solution:

The mother is 21 years older than the child.

M = C + 21

In 6 years from now the mum will be 5 times as old as the child.

M + 6 = (C + 6) x 5

Hence,

C + 21 + 6 = (C + 6) x 5

C + 27 = 5C + 30

-3 = 4C

C = -3/4



The child is -3/4 years old, that is, it'll be born in 9 months.

Thus.. by mathematical deduction....

Right now, the father is on top of the mother...

Whatya know, I was right. I love MS Excel. The answer I said to myself was "between her legs", that counts, right?

that's scary....
