Mr. P and his grandson share the same birthday.
For six consecutive birthdays, Mr. P is an integral number of times as old as his grandson.
How old is each of them at the sixth of these birthdays?



Solution to the Problem:

Mr. P is 66 and his grandson is 6.

  Birthday     Mr. P     grandson     # of times  
1 61 1 61
2 62 2 31
3 63 3 21
4 64 4 16
5 65 5 13
6 66 6 11

Notice that Mr. P and his grandson are getting closer in age!!   😄
In just 6 years, he went from being 61 times as old to only 11 times as old as his grandson! 😷
His grandson is catching up! 🙂
