Puzzle 031 - [Text/Action] Backdated to 10/17

[hintcoinplz]

[Today happens to be a special day for Luke - it’s his birthday! After getting tied to a bear and falling ill for most of the week, Luke was eager to celebrate it. Even if he was a little sad that he couldn’t celebrate it at home. That won't stop him from letting the rest of the world know about it though. Turning fourteen is a very exciting thing

It doesn't feel that much different then being 13, but it's still pretty exciting!

Would you like a hint?

Ok!! Let's see...

The father is saying that if you add half of his age to the son's age, you'll get his age! In that case, the son has to be half the age of the father.
