Ann's Age.
The solution cf cne problem
was given in the co'umns of The
Thiklne's' last issue, but it was
not the solution of the famous
Mary and Acq problem. The
problem is as follows: Mary is 24
ye.ra old. Mary is (not was)
twice as eld as Ann was when
My ws o!d Aon jj D0W
How 0,d AnJ?
Since Mary is twice as old as
Ann was, Ann must have been 12.
Now as many years have passed
since Mary was Ann's age as have
passed since Ana was 12. Half
the difference between 11 and 24
is 6. Six years ago Mary was lS,
which is Ann's present age.
Six years ago Ann was 12, or
one-half cf Mary's age. which
proves the correctness of the so
lution. The ass-cr tf.zi Ann's oge is 12
is incorrect, for when Mary was as
old as Aon is now, A art was o
years old. To be consistent with
the problem 2x0 must edual 24;
but this is absurd.
