Now, I have the double of the age you had when I had the age that you have." How old is each of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Louis is currently 80 and Cipher is currently 60. This solves the two requirements (1) Louis must be Cipher's age + 20 and (2) Louis must be twice as old as Cipher's age - 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
