When People Were Super Confident In Their Answers Despite Being Really, REALLY Wrong
The puzzle requires individuals to calculate the age of a person using the given information. The puzzle states, “When I was two, my sister was twice my age. Now that I’m 40, how old is my sister?”
The simple question got a ton of answers in the comments. People shared all kinds of math solutions and had different answers. One person said, “42 na, unless she’s also aging twice as fast then she’d be 80 now,” while another added detailed math, “The age difference between the two siblings is 4 – 2 = 2 years. Therefore, the person is now 2 + 40 = 42 years old. Their sister would be 4 + 40 = 44 years old. I’m 44 years old.”
“At 2 your sis was twice your age,that’s 4. Literally 2 years older. If you’re 40,she’s 42. Simple,” someone else mentioned..
