    40. She will always be 2X older than you. 20 X 2 = 40

    23. Otherwise the sister would be aging unnaturally.

    Could be if she's an alien named carla. Was just a wild guess anyway. Figured this was some sort of joke. I don't do math.

    Well if his sister was named Carla then she would be an alien and then she would be 40.

    I think these questions come out of those dollar store books with questions for kids or from the menu at White Spot or the Coffee House News.

    Fish can't do math but "wild fish" is a good thing! :)

    The wild fish decided to 'go fish' and have a little fun. :)

    I say 23!  2x3=6 20+3 =23! 

    23 When you were three she was 2x3=6 she will always be 3 years older than you.

    clu

    so 20+3= 26? Don't think so!

    Thank you for that correction clu, yes it's 23 she will always be 3 years older so when he is 20 she will be 23.be patient, my brains alot older than yours. lol
    sunnyB

    Oh sorry clu looks by your profile we are the same age, but you are female, that's an advantage. according to my wife, anyway.
    clu

    Of course Your wife is always correct! LOL:)

    Your math and your thinking are both correct. lol

    If, when you are 3, she is twice that, she would be 6,   (2 x 3),  which makes her 3 years older than you.  When you are 20, she will still be 3 years older than you....23

    26..

    mycatsmom

    I'm with you ,Daren, on this one.
    clu

    Don't think so

    26 ?

    sunnyB

    I thought the same as you at first mycatsmum,We were wrong, as clu says when he was 3 she was 6 so when he is 20, she will be 23.
    mycatsmom

    Sunny, Glad you explained why and how Clu got 23. Now, we all know the answer. At least I was close. Maybe it was just a matter of multiplication error....or doing it too fast.
    sunnyB

    I agree mycatsmom, we must of had alot on our minds at the time.

    29??  I dunno, I hate these things.

    mycatsmom

    I hate math,and there's always a trick to it.
