This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching.
Go figure.
Have a great weekend!B-)
That was too EZ. BTW, I love those kinds of puzzles.
Do you pronounce the capital of Kentucky as Louis- ville or Looey-ville or Loo-vul?
Ha Ha thought you could fool me! Louisville ain't the capital Sacramento is, hahahaha...
No e's
A princess is as old as the prince will be when the princess is twice the age that the prince was when the princess's age was half the sum of their present ages.
What are their ages?
It IS solvable!

When the police called my dad from Louisville the first time I'd run away from home and gotten detained in their local juvie (this was more than half a century ago) he didn't immediately understand where they were calling from. Loo-vul? Where the hell is that? People in Northern Michigan don't appreciate the subtleties of southern dialect.:-)
I probably missed your point by a mile, but I had to tell the story.

Princess is 4/3 as old as prince. If you restrict it to integer solutions, then prince is any multiple of 3 years and princess is same multiple times 4 years.
4 3
8 6
12 9
etc
There is not enough information to restrict it to a single solution.
Edit: I read the link after posting this, and it seems that is the conclusion reached in the comments.
