Question 1093381


The answer 84 can be obtained from two of the clues.
1/7 of his life as a boy
1/7 x=12
x=84

Teenagers are from 13 to 19 for a total of 7 years
x/12=7 again 84
The last two clues are misleading. 
2/3x as a man 2/3(84)=56
84-56=28 since when does manhood begin at 28?

Since when is age 75 the beginning of old age?
AARP accepts members at age 50.
Retirement with Social Security begins at 67.

A cute puzzle but misleading.
