Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.
This week’s brain teaser: I am four times as old as my daughter. In 20 years time I shall be twice as old as her. How old are we now?
Leave your best guess below as a comment, and I’ll approve the answers later. This is a tough one so don’t get discouraged!

She’s 10, so you’re 40; in 20 years she will be 30 and you will be 60

A = 4D
A+20 = 2(D+20)
So, A = 40 and D = 10 !
