King Tut [Solved]
« on: August 08, 2005, 08:33:05 pm »
King Tut died 120 years after King Eros was born.  Their combined ages when they died was 100 years.  King Eros died in the year 40 B.C.  In what year was King Tut born?

KING TUTANKHAMEN - (1336-1327 B.C.)
1336 B.C.

However, seeing as how thats clearly out of the range of the answer you were looking for, I'll do the number crunching.

The value A will represent King Tut's age at his death.
The value B will represent King Eros' age at his death.
The value C will represent King Eros' year of death.
The Value D will represent King Tut's year of birth.

 King Tut was murdered at age 9.
A=9

Now that we have the value of A, we can determine B from subtracting A from our constant of their combined ages, 100.
B=100-A (B=91)

We have King Eros' age at death. Our constant, 40BC (-40AD, for easier math) will have B added to it, to determine King Tut's year of birth.
C=(-40)+B (C=51)

Now, all thats left to do is add the constant 120 to C, to bring us to the year of King Tut's birth.
D=51+120 (D=171)

King Tut was born in the year 171.

EDIT -
He died at age 9, not 14. Fixed.

I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.
