Ages and ages (Posted on 2003-11-04) Difficulty: 2 of 5
A Father, son and grandson are walking in the park. A man approaches them and asks for their age. The Father replies, "My son is as many weeks as my grandson is in days, and my grandson is as many months old as I am in years. We are all 100 years together."

How old were each?

(In reply to Solution by Lee)

Lee, your solution is very good, because your insights avoided the pitfalls that were built into the problem: worrying about how many days or weeks there are in a month, and worrying about leap years. Congrats.
