WHEN I ASK MY WIFE HER AGE SHE SAYS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MY AGE THEN SOLVE THIS PUZZLE IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO SOLVE THIS PUZZLE I WILL PART AWAY WITH YOU PERMANENTLY. (MEANS SHE WILL LEAVE ME PERMANENTLY).
I AGREED TO THE PROPOSAL AND TOOK UP THE CHALLENGE
SHE STARTS SAYING" I HAVE AN UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF 5 GRAMS AND 8 GRAMS WEIGHT THAT MAY BE USED IN A PAN BALANCE. IF YOU USE ONLY THESE WEIGHTS AND PLACE THEM IN ONLY ONE PAN THEN THE LARGEST NUMBER OF GRAMS YOU CANNOT WEIGHT IS EQUAL TO MY AGE"WHATS MY WIFE AGE HELP ME OUT
IF ANYONE KNOWS THE ANSWER DONT OPEN IT SO EARLY

1HINT
0 is the smallest weight u cant measure
1 is second smallest u cant measure( cant express in terms of 8 and 5 )
like that 2,3,4 also cant be measured(same reason)
but 5 can be measured by putting one 5 gram on one pan
6,7,9 cant measure(no combination in terms of 5 and 8)
8 is measurable also 10 is measurable by two combinations of 5
11,12 not measurable but 13 measurable(one 5 and one 8 combination)
like that find out largest weight u cant measure and remember that number is not so big
1no 22 is one but not the largest
but u r too close
try try try try try????????????
1The number must be of the form 5k,5k+1,5k+2,5k+3,5k+4 forms.Noting 8=5+3.
5k+1=5(k-1)+3*2..........................Greatest no. cannot me measured=11.
5k+2=5(k-2)+3*4...........................Greatest no. cannot me measured=27.
5k+3*1............................................Greatest no. cannot me measured=3
5k+4=5(k-1)+3*3.................................Greatest no. cannot me measured=19.
So, Her age must be 27..................
P.s..............Now I know her age,so can I kindly know ur too....:)
