I've been requested to provide another cadet challenge. Here is a one of my favorites, a real Golden Oldie:
How old was Fedorka when
he died?
He was a boy for one-sixth of his life. After one-twelfth more, he acquired a beard. After another one-seventh, he married. In the fifth year after his marriage his son was born. The son lived half as many as his father. Fedorka died 4 years after his son. How old was Fedorka when he died?
The challenge is open to NS 1 and NS 2 cadets and will end at 0730, Tuesday 14 October. The first cadet from each class to submit a correct entry will win a delicious candy bar. Good luck.
