Today's Joke:
Hey who wants a riddle??? Well I have had a bunch of requests lately for a riddle, so I dug this old one up for you... send responses here

A piece of rope weighs 4 ounces per foot, and passes over a pulley.

On one end is suspended a weight, and on the other end, a weasel. The
system is in equilibrium. The weight of the weasel in pounds is equal to the age of the weasel's mother in years.

The age of the weasels mother, plus the age of weasel, equals four years. The weasel's mother is twice as old as the weasel was, when the weasel's mother was one-half as old as the weasel was, when the weasel's mother was three times as old as the weasel.

The weight of the rope, or the weight at the end of the rope, is one-half as much again, as the difference in weight, and the weight plus the weight of the weasel.

How long is the rope?
