Solution: How Old Am I?

On January 6th, I asked you how old I was. To solve this problem, you should keep in mind the following statement:

Now I am 32 years younger than my father. I will be half as old as my father in six years later.

According to the above, when I was born, my father was 32. When I am 32, my father will be 64 and then twice my age. It is 6 years later that the age of my father will be twice as old as my age. That is, I will be 32 in 6 years later. Here you'll be able to answer my present age;


32 - 6 = 26

Hence my present age is 26.
