Solution to Old Man Wrinkly Balls

JONNY ROBERTS FROM SOUTH BELFAST IS OUR WINNER AGAIN!!!

Jonny if you could choose another photo for us to display on your behalf and e-mail it to me...

Here's how it works:

Fraction of life as a boy = 1/4
Fraction of life as a youth = 1/8
Fraction of life as an active man = 1/2
Fraction of life as boy, youth and active man = 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/2 = (2 + 1 + 4)/8 = 7/8
Fraction of life as an old man = 1 - 7/8 = 1/8
Thus, one-eighth of Man Wrinkle's life (as an old man) is 12 years.
So, Old Man Wrinkly Balls Age = 96 years.
