Last vacation, my cousin came over to stay at my house. We made the most of her stay at my place...and I even earned a few chocolates.
Everyday, we would play a game of chess. Whoever lost the game owed a chocolate to the other. After the last game we played (that was the day she was to leave), we counted the number of games each of us had won and lost. Wow! I had won more than her. So, she handed me 7 chocolates...though she herself was the winner in 12 games.
How many days did my cousin spend at my house?

Gretchen and Henry were looking to buy a house together, and finally found one with a beautifully landscaped yard, plenty of bedrooms, and a beautiful tree out front. They asked the owner how old the house was, and this was his reply:

"I planted that tree when the house was built. It was 7 feet tall at the time. It has grown 3 feet each year, and at the end of this past full year, it was four times its original height."

"But how old is the house?" asked Henry. Gretchen said, "Don't be so dense. He just told us."

So, how old is the house?
