Re: Still missing something
Everything retains the context of the previous thing said. So yes 3x as old as Ann was at the time.
As I read this over, I still get frustrated trying to parse the grammer. I've always hated problems like these. aloiz

I re-read this more closely, and since you mentioned it in all fairness I should tell you can take 1/2 of 9. In other words, the answer is a fraction. aloiz [/ QUOTE ]

Re: Another quiz..
For Question #4, here's the system I tried using. It comes up with no solution possible, though, so there's gotta be a flaw somewhere. Maybe somebody else can help me find it...
System: AB * C = DE * F = GHI <font color="white">First, some logic. Let's eliminate what I CANNOT be. It cannot be 1, since there are no two pairs of numbers that both multiply to a number that ends in 1. 7x3 does, but that leaves the only two other odd numbers as 5 and 9, which obviously doesn't work. "I" can't be 3, 5, or 9 for the same reasons (somebody correct me if I'm wrong here and am missing something that'd work). So that leaves the 2,4,6, and 8. If I is 2: That would mean {B and C} and {E and F} are {8 and 4} and {7 and 6}, NOT respecitively. Oh, WAIT! 4 and 3 and 7 and 6 are also possible. Same thing goes with other possibilities for I that I overlooked. I'll have the answer in less than 5 minutes. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]</font> GoT
