this could happen due the sister moving
faster thancloser to the speed of light relative to her brother.edited: correcting theoretical error. Thanks to [email protected] for pointing that out.
Or if the sister died.
Not faster than, just closer to it than the older sibling.
yep my bad. forgot theoretical (in vacuum) we can’t travel faster.

I’ve seen this one before in a popular YouTube video that was going round of a builder springing this one on his poor mate who fell for it and after everyone started laughing at him still couldn’t figure it out and still couldn’t after being given a second chance and still.didn’t understand when it was explained to him through steiffked giggling.
I didn’t understand it then until embarrassingly late in to the video and felt bad for the poor guy who obviously cops that shit from his ‘friend’ a lot so the memory and details of it really stuck with me.
I saw this post, saw the title read the first part of the setup, knew something was coming and still fucking guessed 35 and although I knew that that was the trick answer that this is rigged to elicit and knew that I was wrong I still couldn’t figure it out for like several seconds. Something about this pretty simple trick is remarkably effective at short circuiting my brain even when I know the correct answer.
"Wrong. That sister is a decoy. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don’t trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he’s the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She’s been waiting for me all these years. She’s never taken another lover. I don’t care. I don’t show up. I go to Berlin. That’s where I stashed the chandelier. "
67
Wrong, 35
Keep up
let’s have a hard one next time please

Not enough info to say for sure, but between 66½ and a day before 68 years old. It depends on when during the age of 6 the sister was exactly half the age. The sister is between 3-3½ years younger and we don’t know exactly where during the older sibling’s 70th year the question is posed.
