Eight years ago, Mary was half as old as Jane will be when Jane is one year older than Tim will be at the time when Mary will be five times as old as Tim will be two years from now.
Ten years from now Tim will be twice as old as Jane was when Mary was nine times as old as Tim.
When Tim was one year old, Mary was three years older than Tim will be when Jane is three times as old as Mary was six years before the time when Jane was half as old as Tim will be when Mary will be ten years older than Mary was when Jane was one-third as old as Tim will be when Mary will be three times as old as she was when Jane was born.

I bet you all think I'm going to tell you how easy the answer really is...Well, I most certainly am not!!
I am taking a critical thinking class right now and my instructor posted this. I just wondered how many people felt like I did and most of the responses on here cover my exact feelings!
I am not any good at math, so I have not attempted to figure it out, but if your curiosity gets the best of you, you can go look at this page http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/57539.html and work on the problem. Personally, it still makes my head hurt so I will not being doing that!
Thank you for all your wonderful answers!
Brightest Blessings,
