A little problem to make you confuse  The sum of the years Antonio and Raul are old nowadays is 44 years. Antonio is two times older than Raul was when Antonio was half the years Raul will be old when Raul be three times older than Antonio was when Antonio was 3 times older than Raul. The integer which best represents the difference between their ages nowadays, in years, is: a) 21 b) 22 c) 23 d) 24 e) 25 |

Countolaf: If the difference is 21, then either Antonio or Raul is 32.5 years old and the other one is 11.5 years old. Kind of tricky
