Gooood Morning Riddle Masters! And Happy Monday (or happy weekend if you're getting to this nice and early ;))

We have a tough riddle for you all to kick start the week with and we are very excited to see how you all go...

Although she is still quite young, Babs was becoming increasingly shy about her age. When a friend inquired on her birthday to see how old she was, Babs replied with: "It's a number of years of which one half, one quarter and one seventh added to 3, equals itself." How old is Babs?

Oooooo this one requires a bit of maths, that's for sure. It took Jon a little while to get this one, but I couldn't get this one myself at all!

If you think you know the answer, post it in the comments below! And as always, our 'spoiler' button will automatically hide yours and others' answers. To see those answers, simply click the 'spoiler' button.

Good luck and Happy Riddle-ing!

What is the first number 2 (a half), 4 (a quarter), 7 (a seventh) plus three, divide into exactly? - 28.
(28/2=14, 28/4=7, 28/7=4: 14+7+4 plus 3 =28)
simple? 🥴

After working it out long hand I realised later that her age had to be divisible by both 4 and 7. So when you multiple 4 x 7 you get 28 (they both therefore divide evenly into 28) the rest of the information falls into place as well. Ta Daaaa! 😊
