How Old Is Grandma?

Grandma had another birthday approaching, and naturally people will ask her age.  So, she decided on a strategy.  She decided, "I will say I'm closer to 70 years old than 60." Question: How old is grandma? | | | | \ \ \ \ | | | | Answer: You are led to say she is between 65 and 70.  Her response guides you to this, but here is her clever deception.  In fact, with the information given, all you can say is she is older than 65. She could be 93, and the statement is still correct. Clever, tricky, still sharp is granny.
