Ben and Bills combined age is 91. Bill is now twice as old as Ben was when Bill was as old as Ben is now. How old are they now?

Spoiler your answer please

SPOILER

52 and 39
When Bill was 39, Ben was 26)

Workings;

SPOILER

X + Y = 91
Y = 91 - x

X = (Y - (X - Y))*2,
X = 4Y - 2x
X = 4(91 - x) - 2x
X = 364 - 6x
7x = 364
X = 52

Y = 91 - 52 = 39

This stuff is amazing, don't think I've seen a healthier bunch of ingredients in a powder, would highly recommend, pricey enough and not the most pleasant taste but has phenomenal effects.

Sucker punch too.

I presume there's about as mamy remaining fans of him now as for Lance Armstrong.

Quite a few on here got sucked in by the hype iirc

Spoiler your answer please

Can't believe I mathsed the whole thing:

SPOILER

A: Bn + Bl = 91
B: Bl/2 = Bn - (Bl-Bn)


A => Bn = 91 - Bl

B => Bl/2 = 2Bn - Bl
B => Bl = 4Bn - 2Bl

substitute A for Bn in B:

Bl = 4(91 - Bl) -2Bl
Bl = 364 - 4Bl - 2Bl
Bl = 364-6Bl
7Bl = 364
Bl=52

=> Bill is 52 and Ben is 39

In a non scientific answer it just makes you feel more vibrant, in a less buzzy way than caffeine would it seems.

In terms of ingredients, wheatgrass juice is meant to be one of the best things you can consume. Helps with detoxifying/cleansing the liver, has strong healing properties and improves blood circulation. Fennel seed assist movement of bile from the liver the gallbladder -good for digestion, anti cramping and spasms. Parsley rammed with vitamin A, C and K. Nettle leaf has strong anti-inflammatory proprieties, good for the sinus'. Seaweed has lots of iodine in it, helps thyroid and supports brain function.

Other good stuff in there too but basically a blend of hugely beneficial health riches that the vast majority of people wouldn't be getting in their daily diets.

I decided to take the bull by the horns and email my Cardiologist and ask if Lucie can shadow him and learn Medical Maltese along the way. I got an email back asking for her details and he says he is sure he can set that up!

Even better than getting a med school student to tutor her

[DeadParrot]

speaking of cardiologists, I cracked a rib or two last week and after routine x ray (affidea clinic, simply brilliant), the doctor say kinda off hand;
"hey did anyone ever tell you you have a really big heart?")
72 hours later and much stress, radiologist report comes back saying it's normal size and alls well.

My arse has been going 5cent-1cent for the last few days...

A very neat answer, I brought in a variable t for time and ended up with three equations but yours was better.

I started an equation (w for time), realized that these things usually have and easy enough answer once you get your head around it, and answers would be whole numbers so:

divided 91 by 7, and went from there

[Raoul Duke III]

Can RDIII provide an update on the knock off eames chair please?

Very comfortable. Extremely happy with the quality. Not spending as much quality time in it as I would like but would imagine a man of leisure such as yourself could give it proper devotion.

One thing I think I need to go with it is a very small, low coffee table. Otherwise one has to place one's beverage on the floor...most uncouth.

[Guest]

Similar 3 variables, simultaneous equation etc.

I have a good one of a similar variety but I'd have to dig it more to make sure on the wording.

She will be handy for sure! the young fella had his stress test the other day, it showed an abnormal ECG, no idea what the problem is. Heart issues are a bitch and would be good to have our own cardiologist!

Looks like this McGregor thing (that actually happened in April afaik) might be the straw to break the camels back. Have seen lads on social media, who have gone to Vegas multiple times for his fights and would be huge fanboys and defended him to the hilt, call him all sorts of names and say what a plonker he is.

Good riddance to the scumbag

I see Conor McGregor is still a despicable thug.

Sucker punch too.

I'm not defending him in any way, but he threw a drink in the guy's face; he didn't punch him.

That it's going to take two weeks on a high tech boat for that climate change activist to reach the US surely demonstrates the impractical nature of her message.

Mrs Lao Lao : I've put on a couple of pounds over the last few weeks

Me : Meh

Mrs Lao Lao : We've had a few boozey weeks, it's definetely all the booze and the bad eating after all the booze

Me : Meh

Mrs Lao Lao : Definetely cutting out the booze for the next couple of weeks, maybe go for a hike up the mountains on Saturday & Sunday morning

Me : Cut down booze. Mountain hike. Saturday & Sunday, gotcha

3 days later

Mrs Lao Lao (6:30pm) : Just grabbing a drink with a few people from work. Two drinks absolute max, will be home for dinner.

Me :

Mrs Lao Lao (8:30pm) : I'll be home in about an hour, maybe eat away and I'll sort something out for myself.

Mrs Lao Lao (12:35am) : Baby, are you asleep baby? It's very dark in here...

You think she is saying we should all use clipper ships?

If these people were serious and practical they'd be advocating building nuclear plants, not using their political capital up on paper straws.

You think she's not interested in practical solutions?

Her message is little more than that the generation in power have to act now or it is going to be too late.

PM sent. Have a Tipp man in the office here unable to get a ticket cos we live in Meath

It's her vision of how people should live. She got her mother to give up her international career and become vegan.

Yes.

Don't act the fkin dickhead. When have i ever defended him, or said anything about liking him before?

I saw the tweet and it looked like he took a drink from a glass and threw the rest in your man's face. If a random guy did it, i would have said the exact same thing that i saw.

He wouldn't deserve prison and all the shit people are saying if it was only a drink he threw. The people jumping over everythng he ever does are as bad as the people defending him.

Anyone any idea what Leeds is like as a city? Thinking about heading over for a gig in November. Will be at the gig for a few hours at night but just wondering if there is anything worth doing during the day or what the night life in general is like?

Yeah, looks like he had nothing in his hand, scratched his beard and then launched at the old guy. I had a quick look when i was getting on a plane this morning and first glance it looked like he sipped a drink and then threw it in his face. Neither option surprises me tbh.

You literally defended it in your post by trying to make an excuse for him. I couldn't give a monkey's if you defended him before or not. I dont take that much interest in your posts. I was replying to that specific post. It is what it is. Dont get so upset, you'll live longer.

...He actually isn't a randomer I'm pretty sure... seems he is Dees uncle, and they don't get on due to money issues, which was one of the reasons he didnt take the drink... The "old guy" that he punched is only in his early 50's, and is not liking the old man tag at all!...He is a really nice guy, I worked there for 10 years and never had one problem with him, regularly had a drink with him too... it was 100% a punch and not a drink thrown, there is another camera from the other side of the bar which has better footage I've been told... Very scummy thing to do, literally a cheap shot at a man in his 50's...McGregor actually brought the bottle into the pub with him, didnt even buy it there FFS...

Doctor who did brain surgery on the bro in Beaumont sent the wife and 3 kids to Leicester (i think) for some special Islam education. Some mad yoke burned them all aalive in the gaff coz he thought they were someone else. Lovely spot.
