As far as Kogorous Riddle, Waiting to Critique it. Got a feeling yet again missing and should be there clues missing. Though it is possible he did state somewhere the starting point to those cards. But if he did not I might have fun. Waiting for the solution so I can type my Critique

VQ, does the answer to your riddle assume that psychics and fortune tellers are frauds?

Also,

Okay, so now a riddle I find really easy but really interesting.

Lucy is exactly 25 years younger than her mother. In seven years, her mother will be exactly 5 times older than Lucy.
Where is Lucy's father now?

Okay, so now a riddle I find really easy but really interesting.

Lucy is exactly 25 years younger than her mother. In seven years, her mother will be exactly 5 times older than Lucy.
Where is Lucy's father now?

Spoiler:

I would say that Lucy's father right now is on top of Lucy's mother  (or maybe she's on top of him, I don't know their preferences)
x- mother's age, y - Lucy's age
x-y = 25
(x+7)/(y+7) = 5

x=y+25
(y+7+25)/(y+7) = 5

1+ 25/(y+7) = 5

25 = 4y +28

4y = -3

y= -3/4

So it means that there is exactly 9 month before Lucy's birth.
And Lucy's mother and father and doing all they can so that Lucy will be born

Spoiler:

In real life doctors count pregnancy starting from the first day of a woman's last menstrual period, because the exact day of conception is almost never known, as ovulation and other factors can vary. So Lucy's father could be anywhere really.

Didn't know about it, thank you for clarification

Okay, so now a riddle I find really easy but really interesting.

Lucy is exactly 25 years younger than her mother. In seven years, her mother will be exactly 5 times older than Lucy.
Where is Lucy's father now?

Spoiler:

I would say that Lucy's father right now is on top of Lucy's mother  ;D (or maybe she's on top of him, I don't know their preferences)
x- mother's age, y - Lucy's age
x-y = 25
(x+7)/(y+7) = 5

I believe this equation is wrong and should be this: Lucy's age being x and her mom's age being y
this statement In seven years, her mother will be exactly 5 times older than Lucy becomes 5x=7+y
changing your answer
x+25=y,5x=7+y or 5x=7+(x+25) substract x from both sides gives

4x=7+25=32 or x=8 and y=33 thought this part does need to be made clear. does this riddle mean that in 7 years her mom will be 5 times lucy's start age or lucy's age in 7 years

this is like the question my child in 10 years will be half my age now

other way y+7 =5(x+7)

5(x+7)=Y+7
5x+35=y+7
5x+ 28=y
5x+28=x+25  ( from y=x+25)
4x=-3
x=-3/4 y=24.25 current

x( in 7 years) = 6.25; y ( in 7 years)=31.25

-3.75+ 35 = 31.25

x=y+25
(y+7+25)/(y+7) = 5  5(x+7)=Y+7 or 5x+35=y+7 or 5x+ 28=y  x=5x+28 +25 or x=5x+53 or x = 13.25 y=13.25 + 25 = 38.25

1+ 25/(y+7) = 5

25 = 4y +28

4y = -3

y= -3/4

So it means that there is exactly 9 month before Lucy's birth.
And Lucy's mother and father and doing all they can so that Lucy will be born

sorry but wrong again

normal pregnancy last 9 months

(3/4) of 9 is 6.75
9-6.75 is 2.25 or 9 weeks not MONTHS. The deed is done and yes he could still be anywhere.
