Mom is 21 years older then her child. 6 years later the child will be 5x younger then his mom.
Now the question is, where is the father.
It's not that hard to solve this.

EDIT: Elrond does '5x' means '5 years' or '5 times'

IF 5x menas 5 times then, There is no father
the mom(M) is 21 yrs older than the child (C), that means
M = C+21
after 6 yrs the mom is five time older than the child:
M+6 = 5 (C+6)
M+6= 5C +30
M= 5C +24
USING THE FIRST EQUATION:
C +21 = 5C +24
-4C = 3
THERFORE THE CHILD AGE IS = -3/4 which is impossible.....therefore not born yet..
Right?
