All you really do is answer a series of riddles to reach the end of the game. Easy, right?

"A princess is as old as a prince will be when the princess is twice the age as the prince was when the princess' age was half the sum of their present age." Dude... seriously! I finished it anyway, god bless in internet only one i really needed it on, the wording could've been better. Nice game.

God DAMN that was hard to turn into a formula!!

I got:
(princess=x, prince=y)
x=y+(2(y-(x-((x+y)/2)))-x)

which slowly whittles down to:
x=4(x-y)

Therefore we have a 4:3 ratio (thanks for that word Elle) all the way up.
... So we have the age 4, 8, 12, and any multiple of 4..
... Right?

Agreed - I too had to use the internet to solve this one.

I am OK with Algebra, but don't remember covering matrices in school.

Here is one of the best explanations - link
