~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



If you read the condition attentively,  you,  probably,  will notice that there are  3  (three,  THREE)  persons in the problem:

    
        - Michael, his grandmother and his grandfather.


Hence,  there are  3  (three,  THREE)  unknowns.


But the condition offers only  2  (two,  TWO)  conditions.

 


<U>Instead of the conclusion</U>: &nbsp;&nbsp;There are too many unknowns and too few conditions in order for the problem could be solved properly.
