Who is older? (Posted on 2013-01-28) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Jack and his father and, John and his father went fishing. At the end of the day, the fathers had caught twice as many fish as had the sons. Further, Jack’s father had caught twice as many fish as had John’s father.

If 35 fish were caught in all, and each person caught a whole number of fish - who is older, Jack or John?
