King Tut died
120 years after King Eros was born. Their combined ages when they died was 100
years. King Eros died in the year 40 B.C. In what year was King Tut born?
Answer
King
Tut was born in 20 B.C. There were 120 years between the birth of King
Eros and the death of King Tut, but since their ages amounted to only
100 years, there must have been 20 years when neither existed. This
would be a period between the death of King Eros, 40 B.C., and the birth
of King Tut, 20 B.C.
