Guest Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 At a recent birthday party for a friend of mine, I pointed out the following to my friend: Eighty-seven years after you were one-third as old as you were one year ago, you will be four times as old as you were five years after you were one-fourth as old as you will be eight years from now. What is my friend's age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
