For six consecutive birthdays the grandfather was a multiple of the grandson's age.

Real close Wayne but the answer is.....Wayne B. wrote:60 and 6. Grandad died at 60?
Answer: Grandfather 66, grandson 6.
Grandfather Grandson
61 1 (61 = 1 x 61)
62 2 (62 = 2 x 31)
63 3 (63 = 3 x 21)
64 4 (64 = 4 x 16)
65 5 (65 = 5 x 13)
66 6 (66 = 6 x 11)
So on the sixth birthday, they are 66 and 6 respectively.
