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).

You are given eight coins and told that one of them is counterfeit. The counterfeit one is slightly heavier than the other seven. Otherwise, the coins look identical. Using a simple balance scale, how can you determine which coin is counterfeit using the scale only twice?
First weigh three coins against three others. If the weights are equal, weigh the remaining two against each other. The heavier one is the counterfeit. If one of the groups of three is heavier, weigh two of those coins against each other. If one is heavier, it’s the counterfeit. If they’re equal weight, the third coin is the counterfeit.

A precious thing to most, In order to take it, You must already have it.
What is it?
Life.
