document.write( "How RIDICULOUS is this answer? According to @addingup(3677)'s logic, boy is now twice his sister's age, and in 2 years'\r\n" );
document.write( "time. will also be twice her age. Never heard of such STUPID and NON-SENSICAL logic, if it could be called that!   \r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Boy is 8, sister is twice his age, or 2(8) = 16\r\n" );
document.write( "So, sister is 8 (16 - 8) years OLDER than the boy\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, when the boy is 12 (4 years from now), sister will be 4 years older too, or 16 + 4 = 20\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "SIMPLE, SIMPLE, SIMPLE. Doesn't even need algebra, just sheer common sense, and a little FOCUS!!!
