When Randolph asked Hilda how old she was, Hilda replied that in two years she would be twice as old as she was five years ago. How old is Hilda?
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).

What is the answer to the last equation?
5 3 2 = 151012 9 2 4 = 183662 8 6 3 = 482466 5 4 5 = 202504 7 2 5 = ?
10000 × (x × y) + 100 × (x × z) + transpose_digits(x × y + y × z)
transpose_digits() just swaps the digits
10000 × (x × y) + 100 × (x × z) + transpose_digits(x × y + y × z)
transpose_digits() just swaps the digits
Without changing the order of these numbers, how can they equal 100?
3 5 6 2 54 5
= 3 * (5 – 6) + 2 * 54 – 5 = -3 + 108 – 5 = 105 – 5 = 100
= 3 * (5 – 6) + 2 * 54 – 5 = -3 + 108 – 5 = 105 – 5 = 100
