(
Money Puzzles)
"Mother, I wish you would give me a bicycle," said a girl of twelve the
other day.
"I do not think you are old enough yet, my dear," was the reply. "When I
am only three times as old as you are you shall have one."
Now, the mother's age is forty-five years. When may the young lady
expect to receive her present?
Answer:
In four and a half years, when the daughter will be sixteen years and a
half and the mother forty-nine and a half years of age.
