A man and his grandson have the same birthday. For six consecutive years, the man's age was a exact multiple of the boy's age. How old were they at the last birthday?
The last birthday the grandson was 6
and the grandfather was 66.
The six consecutive-multiple birthday ages:
Grandfather: 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66
Grandson...: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

the last birthday the grandson was 6
and the grandfather was 126.
The six consecutive-multiple birthday ages:
Grandfather: 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126
Grandson...: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
