Some of the logic puzzles in the rec.puzzles archive are of this
nature:

What do ages have to do with heights (other than a general direct
correlation during one's first 20 or so years)?  Can you give a
specific example of the type of puzzle you have in mind?

Ya,ages have nothing to do with height,That was a small mistake. I am
giving a example taken from rec.puzzle.org

1) Ten years from now Tim will be twice as old as Jane was when Mary
was nine times as old as Tim.

2) Eight years ago, Mary was half as old as Jane will be when Jane is
one year older than Tim will be at the time when Mary will be five
times as old as Tim will be two years from now.

3) When Tim was one year old, Mary was three years older than Tim will
be when Jane is three times as old as Mary was six years before the
time when Jane was half as old as Tim will be when Mary will be ten
years older than Mary was when Jane was one-third as old as Tim will
be when Mary will be three times as old as she was when Jane was born.

    HOW OLD ARE THEY NOW?

Btw,This is a little mathematical  It involves equation solving,I am
looking for similar but less mathematical kind of.
