Guy Stumps Girlfriend with Simple Math Riddle


(Video Link)

It's a complicated algebra problem. She does pretty good considering that she doesn't have pencil, paper, and a calculator.

The big brother is 4 years old. His little brother is half his age. When the big brother is 100 years old, how old will the little brother be?

The "riddle" is in how simple it is to forget how things work and be tricked by the wording of the problem.

I can't figure out why, but first instinct seems to be to take 1/2 of 100 and say that's the age of the younger brother. That's not the case. The younger brother is only 2 years younger than the older. Always.
