The average age of a couple married four years ago was 25 years then. The average age of the family consisting of husband, wife and a child now is 20 years. What is the child’s present age?
Let the age of father 4 years ago be X Let the age of mother 4 years ago be Y
The average age of a couple married four years ago was 25 years then.
So, (x + Y) ÷ 2 = 25 X + Y = 25 * 2 X + Y = 50 (eqn 1)
The average age of the family consisting of husband, wife and a child now is 20 years
Age of father after 4 years is then X + 4 Age of mother after 4 years is then Y + 4 Let age of child now be Z
So, ((X + 4) + (Y+4) + Z) ÷ 3 = 20 X + 4 + Y + 4 + Z = 20 * 3 X + Y + Z + 8 = 60 X + Y + Z = 60 - 8 X + Y + Z = 52 (eqn 2)
putting (eqn 1) into (eqn 2) 50 + Z = 52 Z = 52 - 50 Z = 2

I have no inside knowledge of a potential stock listing of the popular anti-Whatsapp messaging app, Telegram. But I know this much, judging by most people I talk to, especially crypto investors, if Telegram ever went public, people would gobble it up. I know I would. I’m waiting for it. So is Sergei Sergienko, who claims he owns $800,000 of Telegram’s pre-initial coin offering (ICO) tokens. “If Telegram does a SPAC IPO, there would be demand for this issue. It would probably outstrip the interest we saw during the ICO. Why? Because as of right now Telegram looks like a liberal application that can accept anyone - right after WhatsApp and others have turn on the censorship,” he says.
How Does Bitcoin Work?
Bitcoin is built on a distributed digital record called a blockchain. As the name implies, blockchain is a linked body of data, made up of units called blocks that contain information about each and every transaction, including date and time, total value, buyer and seller, and a unique identifying code for each exchange. Entries are strung together in chronological order, creating a digital chain of blocks. “Once a block is added to the blockchain, it becomes accessible to anyone who wishes to view it, acting as a public ledger of cryptocurrency transactions,” says Stacey Harris, consultant for Pelicoin, a network of cryptocurrency ATMs. Blockchain is decentralized, which means it’s not controlled by any one organization. “It’s like a Google Doc that anyone can work on,” says Buchi Okoro, CEO and co-founder of African cryptocurrency exchange Quidax. “Nobody owns it, but anyone who has a link can contribute to it. And as different people update it, your copy also gets updated.”
