| 75285 | 2002-08-31 12:03:00 | Can any figure this one out, cause I certainly can't. ?:| The day before yesterday Freda was 17. Next year she will be 20. How can this be so? I think it may have somthing to do with a leap year, no prizes for guessing even if you do know the answer, cause like I said don't know myself. Just curious. ;) cheers merlin-nz ;) |

The statement was made on January 1. Freda's birthday is December 31. She was 17 the day before yesterday (Dec 30). She was 18 yesterday. She will be 19 this year (Dec 31) and 20 next year. |

| 75290 | 2002-08-31 23:36:00 | it really took google to work that out? to be honest I think this was one of the easiest brain teasers we've had here for a while - mainly cause it's the only one (that I can remember) that I've actually figured out... in less than 20 seconds too! Mike. |

| 75291 | 2002-09-01 00:06:00 | Actually Mike i did figure it out myself in no time then i used google to check if it was right. I then took the answer from the site I found because I couldn't really be bothered writing it out. Regards Sam |

| 75292 | 2002-09-01 04:47:00 | Oh I did so well! :-) My IQ is the same as my shoe size (9½) but I figured this one out all by myself, for once . True, it took twice as long as Mike, but at least I did it! *pats self on back and pinches one of hubby's fathers' day chocolates for a reward* |
