A mother has 21 years old more than her son. In next 10 years, the son will be 5 times younger than his mother.

Q: Where's the father?


I'm going to say he's nowhere.
Because unless she has two kids calling her a mother at 21 would be a false statement. Since she would have actually had her son almost 4 years later. Actually that's probably wrong since it didn't say her age...Back to notepad

Ok I'm still saying he's not in the picture because at no point can she be 21 years older and he is 5 times younger.

The only time she is 21 years older and he is 5 times younger the son would have to be -6 years old.

Which makes her 15 when she has this kid and the father is in jail
It makes sense for a riddle but I didn't bother going into negatives until you replied.

I have to be doing something wrong or extra then. Because now she would be 20.25 when she has this kid. Which now seems irrelevant to the whereabouts of the father.
Unless the answer is now College or something stupid like that O.o

^That's a good answer. Even though, u must answer "the father is next to the mother" (they probably 69 each other and creating the first germ)

He knew by, him being being one of the kids, knowing that his sister is a blonde and is talking about their family.

And, the age of the girls is, 6 ?
