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,
[spoiler]has 'intuition' been guessed yet?[/spoiler]

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]

[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.[/spoiler]

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.[/spoiler]
