The Answer
The correct answer to the puzzle is 99 years old! Scroll down below for the logical explanation.
Ok, so when the author was 2, their brother was half their age which makes them a one-year-old. Clearly, the sibling is one year younger. Since the author is now 100, just minus one year from the total and that will give you 99 years old!
