TITLE: How old are they?
QUESTION [5 upvotes]: One man speaking to other:
When you were born I was 20 years old. Today I am twice the age you were when I was the age you are now.
What are the ages of both of them?

REPLY [4 votes]: 80 and 60
I think it's helpful to break up and reword the problem:
"I am 20 years older than you."
"When I was your current age, you were (of course) 20 years younger than me."
"I am now twice the age you were at that time."
And I don't really know how I got from that, to 80. But it works:
Man A is 20 years older than man B.
When man A is 80, man B is 60.
When man A was 60, man B was 40.
"When I was your current age (60), you were 20 years younger than me (40)."
"I am now twice the age you were at that time (80)."
