"I Leave Ye with a Riddle..."

Basically someone posts a riddle, if you know the answer, you post the answer along with another riddle. You'll recieve 1 point for each one you get right, the names will be place on the score board, in the order of the most points.

Rules
1. Only one answer per member per question.
2. Once a question gets five wrong answers a new one will be set.
3. If a riddle isn't solved after a day, a new one will be set.
4. Don't use the Internet to find the answer. However, if you're to set the question, you may.
5. I'll decide who gets the point (by this, I mean, if you argue with me, I'll reset your score)
6. You can ask questions, within reason.
7. Rules 1 and 2 are lifted if the riddle contains a good few paragraphs.
8. If a riddle needs to be set, anyone can set them.

For some reason I read it as three time his sons age.

Afraid not Timmy :)

35 and 17.

Dad's age 8 years ago was:

3 * ( ( 52 - 8 - 8 ) / 4)

... and go from there.

=D

Eight years ago, Sam was eight times the age of his son Billy. Today, if you add their ages together, they add up to 52. How old are Sam and his son?

So the snail one hasn't been explained? I'm confused.

hehehe, that'll do! The answer I actually had in mind was that it would depend on the size of the second hole!

Impossible to dig half a hole, a hole is a hole as soon as you start :)

Exactly what I thought.

Well anyway, a maths one got you going, so try this one out for size. I know it's right... Unless, people are tired of my persistant riddle making =D

Yup.

If it takes you 20 minutes to dig one hole, how long does it take you to dig half a hole?
