PICARATS 017 [VIDEO/ACTION IN CIANWOOD]
[ Lookie here, check out this gorgeous view of the sea. The way the water is so clear and the sun shining brightly down on it. It seems like the perfect day for a swim and the perfect day to be outside, especially on the beach. Those by the Cianwood and Olivine beach should get out right now and sit right there, just like what the good old

[Mental math, go.]
...At the moment, the daughter is ten years of age; her father is forty. In twenty years' time, she'll be thirty and he sixty, thus making him twice as old as she is.

Two anniversaries? Is it being your name day as well Sir? Oh but you are sounding like you are being English.. Are english people having name days? Umm.. were you married before coming here? Your wife is not missing you too much I hope?
Oh! The puzzle.. umm... Is she 15 and he 60? Umm.. I'm afraid I'm not very good at these kind of things so...

And while the two ages you have given fit into the first half of the puzzle, it does not for the second. Do not worry and take your time with it. [ picarats down to 12 now! ]

[Have a very happy laugh at that Professor!]
You came here and met her? That is so sweet! I guess maybe sometimes coming to this place is not such bad thing after all...]
Day you received your name? No...hmm.. name is... is...
[He frowns as he thinks on this one for a bit, if they don't have them then it is a little strange to some people.]
Well is day you celebrate specially because it is your name. That way other people can be celebrating with you and without having to worry about yours and others ages. Can also be nice to celebrate with everyone of same age yes?
[ There seems to be little response to the fact it is the mans birthday itself. Birthdays are more of a private thing to the young Baltic he'd never tell anyone when his was since those that need to know already know.]
The puzzle is wrong? hmm...ok.. Umm... well if he is four times older... that is... umm... she would be five he would be.. umm..
[He's counting on his fingers now.twenty.. but that's just wrong... that would mean ( ... )

Is that so? That's quite the interesting celebration. As you have seen, I'm afraid that I'm not too knowledge about Name Day, and that is correct!
When we plug in those ages, it fits quite nicely into the puzzle. Very well done. Critical thinking is the key to success.

The fact that the father is four times his daughter's age can be shown with a simple equation, assuming F is the father's age and D is the daughter's.
F=4D
If in twenty years, instead of being four times her age, he'll only be half. Like so.
F+20=2(D+20)
From there, 's as simple as plugging in F=4D into the second equation and solving for D.
4D+20=2(D+20)
4D+20=2D+40
4D=2D+20
2D=20
D=10
And once you do that, all you've gotta do is plug in 10 into the first equation.
F=4(10)
F=40

Your Pokémon evolved?

And not at all. It will still be a little more time before my other Pokemon evolve.

Do all of them evolve?

No, not at all. Some do not have any evolutions while others sometime refuses to evolve due to having some attachment to the form they have.
