Mr. P and his grandson

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! 🙂
