Some people are actually answering this question with "35"

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

The math is easy to me, but if you not paying attention to the wording itself you’ll think it’s easy & end up wrong

 

[Huda2daf]

It’s absolutely a scam. Who the fukk is giving up bands for answering a riddle.

 

[Luke Cage]

Trick question, his sister died when she was 8. never got any older than that

 

[Gloxina]

67 but I am a biomedical engineer and math major

67 but I can reason and do basic arithmetic


Lol


But I guess we shouldn’t laugh

 

[Low End Derrick]

Yeah I've always thought the phrase "Half your age" was meaningless.

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

math gives me a headache. I grounded my daughter for asking me to help her with her homework few weeks ago

Pro tip:
Take her to the public library and get her used to going there.

Life ain't about riddles. Say what you mean and mean what you say, other wise fukk off. Never liked word problems, always came off a certain way to me.

If you round it to nearest tenth, 23.8

da bytch was half the age at 6, which was 3 now she's 70 so the bytch is 35. She could be using anti-aging serum

Pics of the sister (the 35 year old version)

There is a reason why these questions are asked a certain way.
It's because of how people's minds work.

The word "half" gets stuck in people's brains.
And without thinking about it.
That word stays in their brain when answering.

If the question said "when I was 6, my sister was 3...and now I'm 70, how old is my sister"

Obviously no one would get it wrong

These are the people at the grocery store with a whole cart of groceries and realize they need to start putting stuff back.

Edit - I have ZERO respect for folks that can't keep do simple mental math like keeping a running tally in their heads.

ZERO.

Said it and I meant it.

These are also the people running the register breh.
