Puzzle 030

Father's Day again, is it?

[He's been around long enough to know what this means, and he knows that there's no need to run and take cover from any crazy Mayfield antics. Still, it did make him a little homesick.]

You know, this actually reminds me of a puzzle! Let's see if you can solve it.

"A father and son are talking when the son asks this question: 'Dad, I'm 22 now, but just how old are you?'

The father replies, 'you wanna know how old your old man is, eh? Hmm, well, I'll tell you what. I'm as old as your age, plus half my age.'

How old was the father?"

By the way, does anyone know how to take care of a very, very large sea creature? She's been staying in the lake, but I want to make sure she's well taken care of.

[Because now that Loosha was back, Luke felt like he was responsible for making sure she was safe and happy here.]

[Action - Around the house.]

[On the kitchen table sits a card and gift box for Edward Nigma. Naturally the box is actually a puzzle box, making it pretty obvious who it's from.

Luke can be found outside, tending to the now animate golem standing guard outside the house.]

The father is 44, isn't he?
sapienza: (I never did intend)

Ah, I'm glad. I feel as though my mind has been dulling since I got here.

[You know? Ordinarily, the Riddler hates Father's Day. More than almost any day of the year. But this one is actually rather nice, all things considered.

As Luke tends to his golem, the door swings open and out steps Edward Nigma, holding onto a half-completed puzzle box and grinning knowingly.]


Question: Who could have possibly left this on the kitchen table?
questionauthority: (Feels good man)

[He brings forth the hand with the puzzle, shaking it slightly from side to side.]

I couldn't help myself. [No, really. That's kind of a problem of his.

Not to worry, though! He's pulling out the card from his jacket pocket now, neatly tearing into the envelope and giving it a read...]

Are you suuuure? You didn't tell us anything else about the dad besides his age. Is he even human? I have it on good authority that robots can live for an awfully long time.

I can get you some salt water for your friend...

Re: Phone

Yeah... that's a good idea. I can do fresh water, too, but most people seem to want salt water in their ponds.

slave_of_suzumiya: (Why are you asking me?)

[personal profile] slave_of_suzumiya 2012-06-18 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
If half the father's age plus the son's age equal his age, then it's pretty obvious he's twice his son's age.
slave_of_suzumiya: (It's not all bad)

[personal profile] slave_of_suzumiya 2012-06-19 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not that difficult to comprehend.

(Especially when you've dealt with Nagato or Koizumi in the past. Now THAT is hard to follow.)

Do you know her? [Wait, that was a dumb question.] I mean, um, from home?

[Tieria was certain he'd spoken with this boy before. The voice sounded familiar, as did the whole puzzle thing. He'd seen him working over some graphical word puzzles once. It was quite some time ago, but Tieria had a good memory like that.]

The father was 44.
