The Answer to This Age Puzzle Is Simpler Than It Looks

When I was 6 years old, my sister was half my age.

Half of 6 is 3, so at that time, the age difference between us was:

6 − 3 = 3 years.

That age difference never changes.

Now I am 50 years old, so my sister is:

50 − 3 = 47 years old.

🎯 Final Answer: 47 years old

The trick is that being half your age was true when you were 6, not forever. The 3-year age gap remains the same as both people get older.

Did you get 47 on your first try? 😄
