Question

Reversing the digits of Gyver's age gives Ed's age with a difference of 18 years. If the sum of the digits of each age is 6, how old is Gyver?

Answer 1

for this i think you should just start off with guess and check xD

Answer 2

so let's start off with two SINGLE DIGIT numbers that add up to give you 6.

Answer 3

1 and 5, 4 and 2

Answer 4

yes so let's try 1 and 5 firstly.
So the numbers we'd use would be 15 and 51.
Now we need to find the difference to make sure it's = 18.
So does 51 - 15 = 18 ?

Answer 5

no :)

Answer 6

correct :) so that means 1 and 5 are not the numbers we'd use.
So let's try 2 and 4.
so our numbers would be 24 and 42 right?
Does 42 - 24 = 18 ?

Answer 7

yes :)

Answer 8

exactly ^_^.
So now we have to figure out the age of Gyver

Answer 9

From the question we know that Gyver's age = Ed's age - 18
So if Gyver is 24, Ed would be 42 with a difference of 18 correct?

Answer 10

oh so the answer is 24 :) thank you :)

Answer 11

i think it's 24 xD
But now i'm confused if he is the one who is 42 or 24 :S ...

Answer 25

thanks @Nnesha :))

Answer 26

Well what i THINK it is issssss..
Gyver = 24
Then reverse it and we get ed's age 42.
And they have a difference of 18 right? xD
Since Ed - Gyver = 42 - 24 = 18
So yaaah... anyways GOOD LUCK :D !
