A married couple is traveling by bus on dangerous mountain roads. Midway through their journey the bus stops for snacks and a restroom break. The couple is enjoying the postcards in the store when the bus driver curtly tells them it’s past time to leave. Fifteen minutes after, the bus is hit by a mud slide and two people are killed. The couple blames themselves for the deaths. Why?
They blame themselves because they caused the bus to be late. If they had been on time, the bus would have already passed the location of the mud slide.

A Thumb.

Aside from the potential response that it’s rude to ask the age of a lady, the answer can be worked out mathematically.
x + 2 = 2(x – 5) x + 2 = 2x – 10 x + 12 = 2x 12 = x In two years she’ll be 14, which is twice her age 5 years ago (7).
