Paul is four times as old as Rick. In 4 years, Rick will be half as old as Paul is now. Two years ago Paul was seven times as old as Rick.

How old are they now?

I think there's a typo in there. Unless you're using fractions in there. That'd just be crafty.

Paul - 16

Rick 4

edit: Since Frenchy says I get to post a new one...

Fill in the next number in the pattern:

1, 2, 6, 16, __

No typo, I just added the "is now" at the end of a sentence. No fraction needed.

P = 4R
P + 4 = R/2
P - 2 = 7(R - 2)
Although it is redundant to give 3 equations, you can solve this with only 2.
