Age Puzzle: Mary and Ann from Topeka Letters
A long text pieces together an 19th or early 20th century reader puzzle about Mary and Ann ages. The writer attempts an algebraic backtrack to find Ann’s present age and Mary’s age when certain past ages occurred. Multiple viewer responses propose Ann’s age as 14 or 16, with Mary then 28 or 32 respectively, but the consensus leans toward Ann’s age 14 and Mary 28 as the consistent solution.
