Never ask a lady their age

Easter Puzzle

Aunt Susan was extremely touchy about her age.

When a cheeky nephew asked her directly how old she was, she cunningly replied that she was 35 years old not counting Saturday's or Sunday's.

So how old was she really?

A virtual cream egg to the first correct answer.

Is it 45? Or is it a trick question?

Hi Looby-blu - thanks for being the first to post something. Sorry it's not the right answer and no, it's not a trick question. Well done for trying though - it made me think a bit as well and I didn't get it right first time either (same as the driving test LOL)

[Looby-Blu]

Right - i'm off to have words with my calculator!!

Ooooh LEAP YEARS.........

Slightly off topic but related......

Mrs A has said in future this is how she will answer questions about her age ROFL....................

82???....I'm not very good at maths!

[Looby-Blu]

What about 40?

35 years and 35 days , Or just 35 years.(Depending how good Aunt Susan was at math)

25 years old. 35 years multiplied by 52 weeks multiplied by 2 divided by 365 days = 9.97 years (I rounded it up to ten and you take if OFF the total, not add it on)

[Looby-Blu]

45 years old. 35 years multiplied by 52 weeks multiplied by 2 divided by 365 days = 9.97 years (I rounded it up to ten)

I already said that - computer says no.

[SarzWix]

52x2=104 missed days per year
35 x 104= 3640
3640 / 365 = 9.972

That brings me to the conclusion of 45 too

[Marthaclematis]

See my edit. I think you take the ten years OFF not add them on.

[Looby-Blu]

Its making my head hurt.

[Johnny Appleseed]

Good efforts one and all but we're not there yet - it works out to an exact whole number - I promise.

49 years old exactly (35*7/5)
