The puzzle asks people to determine the age of a person based on the provided details. It reads, “When I was two, my sister was twice my age. Now I’m 40, how old is my sister?”

As easy as it seems, the tricky question has prompted a lot of responses in the comments section. Users dropped various calculations and had different answers to them. A user wrote, “42 na, unless she’s also aging twice as fast then she’d be 80 now,” while another added detailed math, “The age difference between the two siblings is 4 – 2 = 2 years. Therefore, the person is now 2 + 40 = 42 years old. Their sister would be 4 + 40 = 44 years old. I’m 44 years old.”

“At 2 your sis was twice your age,that’s 4. Literally 2 years older. If you’re 40,she’s 42. Simple,” another commented.
