54 + 64 (1921). Also he was 2 X 31 (62) in the year 2 X 312 (1922). Again,

Mike's present age is 101~1 years, Pat's is 291~1, and Biddy's is 242~1 years.
When the sty was built (7^9121 years ago), Mike was 3~1, Pat was 22~1, and
Biddy was 171\6 I. In 1 P \61 years Mike will be 22~ 1 (as old as Pat was when

together.
