THE DOCTOR & THE NURSE
THE DOCTOR & THE NURSE
A doctor and nurse, were in the office one morning before patients arrived.
The doctor told the nurse that he was scheduled to see 3 patients in the
morning. The nurse asked how old they were and the doctor answered:
"The product of the ages of those three people is 2450 and the sum is twice
your age. How old are those people?"
The nurse thought for a while and then said, "I cannot answer your question."
The Doctor thought for a while and then said: "You are quite right, of course.
Here is another piece of information. I am older than any of the three patients."
HOW OLD IS THE DOCTOR?
(trust the question! its solvable!)
