All you really do is answer a series of riddles to reach the end of the game. Easy, right?

"A princess is as old as a prince will be when the princess is twice the age as the prince was when the princess' age was half the sum of their present age." Dude... seriously! I finished it anyway, god bless in internet only one i really needed it on, the wording could've been better. Nice game.

God DAMN that was hard to turn into a formula!!

I got:
(princess=x, prince=y)
x=y+(2(y-(x-((x+y)/2)))-x)

which slowly whittles down to:
x=4(x-y)

Therefore we have a 4:3 ratio (thanks for that word Elle) all the way up.
... So we have the age 4, 8, 12, and any multiple of 4..
... Right?

Glad you guys liked it Couldya throw me a star rating on the site then?

Agreed - I too had to use the internet to solve this one.

I am OK with Algebra, but don't remember covering matrices in school.
