:d

:O It'll be your first person to come out to, too?

Congratulations to you both.

 

I would feel so freaking special if somebody came out to me. Glad it happened to you though, and certainly makes your job easier XD.

 

i agree... im hoping some one comes out to me too

and btw whats the answer to your riddle? in your signature? ive been reading it over an over again and still come with nothing.. if the kid is 6 then that makes the mom 27? and the father is ...

OK, you two: I'm gay.

(Or did you mean someone in your private lives?)

 

That's awesome, you must be pretty good person for someone to come out to you. Best of luck for tomorrow!

 

You have to solve with with algebra. Which was a huge pain for me, since A)I'm not a math whiz, and B) it's been years since I took Algebra 3/Trig. I did somehow manage, and discovered the child's age is -9 months (that is, nine months before being born). You figure out what that means....

 

Lol. And congrats to your friend and good luck to you!

The father is obviously a drunkard.

 

i couldnt think so had my PA sort it out for me lol... man thats alot of numbers...

so she emailed me the following:

since there is a 21 year difference...
For mom to be twice as old:
21*2 = 42
child is 21 and mom is 42
For mom to be three times as old:
21*1.5=31.5
child is 10.5, mom is 31.5
Four time as old:
21*1.333333* = 28
child is 7, mom is 28
Five times as old:
21*1.25 = 26.25
child is 5.25, mother is 26.25
But we have to subtract 6 years now
CHILD IS -.75 years old and MOM is 20.25 years old.
-.75 years is 9 months so that means the father is at the hospital right now next to the mom coz she's having the baby ....

i feel smart copying her email into my post

 

By the way, Caudex, I really like your signature line!

 

I don't know you you got these numbers...

I did it like this:

child's current age = x
mother's current age = y

A mother is 21 years older than her child.
x+21=y

In 6 years, she will be 5 times as old as her child.
y+6=5(x+6) (You add 6 years to both the mother and child's age, and then multiply by five as described.)

Then, its just simply math:

y=5(x+6)-6
y=x+21

0=5(x+6)-6-x-21

27=4x+30

-3=4x

x=-0.75
