Message 1166127 - Posted: 29 Oct 2011, 2:12:00 UTC - in response to Message 1166124.  

Hmm. How old are the kids...

110 total?


I am afraid that answering that question would give the answer away. I know I have posted my age and it's safe to assume that my significant other is relatively close to my age. So the real issue is how old are the other two, which you assume are my kids. Ok, I'll give you that one, they are my kids. So no additional hits until tomorrow some time.

128


John I think you deserve one more guess. The last clue was that one of the new guesses was within 1 of the correct number. That leaves only 3 possible numbers. 128 is not one of them. The possible answers are 129, 131 and 133. So what's your guess?

Thank you Carlos

I bought a truck on 10/21.

How many miles have it logged since then?

Good luck. Hint it is less than 1,000 Miles.
