Description Gabor Kelemen 2011-09-04 08:01:42 UTC 
The rationale below belongs to this question: 

John is 46 years old. His son is [difference] year younger than half of 
John's age. How old is John's son?

#: ../data/games.xml.h:45
John's age is nowadays half of John's son age, that is, ([father] / 2) - 
[difference].

How can a father's age be half of his sons?
This would have to say "John's sons age is half of John's age..."
Comment 1 Jordi Mas 2011-09-09 20:09:49 UTC 
That's right, the current rationale is incorrect.

I suggest the following sentence to fix it:

"John's son age is nowadays half of John's age minus [difference], that is, ([father] / 2) - [difference]."

Jordi,

This has been fixed in HEAD

Please update your translations

Thanks

Comment 4 F Wolff 2011-09-10 18:09:13 UTC 
That should be "John's son's age" (two possessive forms).
Comment 5 Sam 2012-02-09 11:21:10 UTC 
Is there a dedicated vm with dev env. built in so that C# code to fix text 
(messasge- string type) in last comment can be fixed ?
