Answer to Q90

Sally is 54 years old and her mother is 80, how many years ago was Sally's mother three times her age?

Let Sally's age be x
Let her mother's age be y

Now, x = 54 and y = 80
So, y - x = 26 (the mother will always be 26 years older than Sally at all time)

But there was a time when the mother's age was three times Sally's age.
So at that time: y = 3x - - eq i
But remember: y - x = 26 - - eq ii

From eq ii
y = 26 + x - - eq iii

Putting eq iii into eq i
26 + x = 3x
26 = 3x - x
26 = 2x
x = 26 ÷ 2
x = 13

So, when Sally was 13 her mother was 3 x 13 = 39. And to check, is 39 - 13, 26? Yes, so we are good.

But here is the tricky part, the question asked for how many years ago that scenario was not Sally's age at that time.

Sally is now 54 and the scenario was when she was 13, so that was 54 - 13 years ago

Answer: 41

On Tuesday, some local media outlets included Sing Tao Daily cited sources as saying the Hong Kong government was considering restricting access to Telegram. Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data Ada Chung told to the Legislative Council on Monday that government officials, police and lawmakers remain the targets of “doxxing” despite a privacy law amendment last year that criminalised the malicious disclosure of personal information. The group also hosted discussions on committing arson, Judge Hui said, including setting roadblocks on fire, hurling petrol bombs at police stations and teaching people to make such weapons. The conversation linked to arson went on for two to three months, Hui said. Earlier, crypto enthusiasts had created a self-described “meme app” dubbed “gm” app wherein users would greet each other with “gm” or “good morning” messages. However, in September 2021, the gm app was down after a hacker reportedly gained access to the user data. As five out of seven counts were serious, Hui sentenced Ng to six years and six months in jail. Informative
