Question: My age is five times that of my son. Next year, my son will be eight years old. How old am I now? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
If the son is going to be eight years old after a year from now, then currently, he is 8 - 1 = 7. Since the father's age is five times that of the son, currently he is 5 * 7 = 35 years old. So the answer is 35.
