Not getting this maths... I came up with an answer I thought made sense but apparently that's not right. =/ Can anyone help me?
I'm sure it's going to be really obvious and I'm gonna feel stupid...

Edit: Thanks, I got it.

Skeleton: Wrong! Try again:
Alrik says, he's four times as old as Beren. Beren says, in 24 years he'll be half as old as Alrik. How old are Alrik and Beren?

But I did the math right! Unless one of them is lying about their age... >:U

Yeah, I think I did the same as you. The question is confusing, it's "at" 24 years not "in" 24 years.

There are at least two answers to this. It's why I didn't know why I was wrong.

That was my miscalculation.

Yeah, problem's a bit confusing in its wording, had to ask for help on it and felt majorly stupid when I looked at the question again with the answer in hand... it should say 'at' 24 years, not 'in' 24 years... though that may make it too easy...

As for the finding the hand quest... where would you find treasure and what would a pirate use to find that treasure?
