Here is p. T. Barnum S famous
problem, still unanswered Sup
pose a man is thirty-one years Of
age and has child one year OF age.
He is thirty times older than his
child. When the child is thirty
years old, the father being sixty,
is only twice as old as his child.
When the child is sixty his father is
ninety and therefore only one third
older than the child. When the
child is ninety, and the father is one
hundred and twenty and therefore
only one-fourth older than the child.
The child gradually gains on the
parent and continues to come nearer
and in time must overtake him.
The question is: Suppose it were
possible for them to live long
enough, how old would the father
be when the child overlook him and
hacame of the same are.
