The day before yesterday, @Tim was 7 years old. Next year, he'll turn 10. How is this possible?
 
Tim's birthday must be Dec 31st. The day before yesterday is Dec 30th, and he was 7 years old. With his birthday yesterday he turned 8. Today is January 1st of a new year so he'll be 9 this year and next year he will be 10.
 
What I'd give to be 7 again :soz: :lol!:

Here's one that's going around at the moment. I must admit it took me a while and turned my brain to mush, see what you think:

Albert and Bernard just became friends with Cheryl, and they want to know when her birthday is. Cheryl gives them a list of 10 possible dates: May 15, May 16, May 19, June 17, June 18, July 14, July 16, August 14, August 15, August 17.

Cheryl then tells Albert and Bernard separately the month and the day of her birthday, respectively.

Albert: I don’t know when Cheryl’s birthday is, but I know that Bernard does not know too.

Bernard: At first I don’t know when Cheryl’s birthday is, but I know now.

Albert: Then I also know when Cheryl’s birthday is.

So when is Cheryl’s birthday?

@Tim are we reading this right Albert is told the month & Bernard is told the day.. ?
 
Ok brain in gear = it's not 18 May or June 19 as unique dates then Bernard would know right away
 
So it's either July or August...
 
Correct and correct, you're on the right path :)

Who likes logic puzzles? I like them, but really thought this one would have me beet.
Our 16 year old's doing an Engineering Apprenticeship, and today, as Engineers should think logically and work stuff out, they were given a brain teaser of fiendish finedishnessnessness. I'll gloat because he finished first out of them all, and correctly. I'll bury my head in shame because it took me well over an hour as I kept going wrong on the same bit. I'll gloat cos hubby set up a spread sheet and still took as long as me and made the same mistakes. I'll bury my head in shame as our other son finished way quicker!

Here we go....... I promise it does have a definite answer. For those of you who like me on here, I'm sorry, you'll probably really hate me after this, or you'll feel nice and smug.
