麦克斯的年龄之谜

                                                                                     

Max was a math teacher before he retired. One day, his naughty grandson asked him some questions. One of the questions was, "How old are you?" 
Max said, "I don't quite remember, but I will try to think." He thought for a while and then said, "Yes, I remember now. When I got married, I was thirty-four years old, and my wife was thirty then. Now she is sixty, I know, and that is twice thirty. And so I am twice thirty-four. That is sixty-eight, isn't it?"
