Can you solve this tricky age riddle? Only a small number of people manage to find the correct answer on their first try. Read the question carefully, take your time, and see whether you can work it out without checking the solution. Don’t rush, because the answer may not be as straightforward as it first appears!
ANSWER:
The correct answer is 56 years old. When the person was 8 years old, his brother was half his age, meaning he was just 4. This tells us that there was a 4-year age gap between the two brothers.
That age difference never changes, regardless of how many years pass. If the older brother is now 60 years old, his younger brother must still be exactly 4 years younger.
Therefore, simply subtract 4 from 60 to find the answer: 60 − 4 = 56 years old.
