The other day Annette brought up a good idea, in that it would be good to keep our minds active. Obviously doing the same thing every day starts to give one brain rot. So I dug into my closet and pulled out all my brain teaser books and Mensa cards, and decided we should probably try a few of them. Of course the first one I picked out had to be one of the hardest ones:
The ages of Ann and Bill now add up to 91. Ann is now three times as old as Bill was at the time when Ann was twice as old as Bill is now. How old are Ann and Bill now?
If you can figure out the equation (and know how to solve it) it takes about 2 mins. I couldn't get the equation right away so I had to use the "Gustafson Method" (process of elimination). After that I went back and figured the equation out and then had to figure out how the hell to solve it. All in all that took over an hour. I'm not sure if this prevented brain rot or gave me more of it. Hopefully next time Ann and Bill can just tell me how old they are from the begining and save me some grief.
