MES Puzzle: What is the height of the table?

Bonus: Can you determine the heights of the cat and turtle from this information alone?

my mind is melted....i cant get over why they would be different heights....lol

Sure we can

Cat=40, turtle=20, table=150

Yup you go it. Although the cat and turtle height is undefined. They can be 100 cm and 80 cm and the Table will still be 150 cm!

I think cat and turtle height depend on each other: the cat needs to be 20 cm taller than the turtle. Apart from that, their absolute heights are undefined, right?

Yup that's right. There are 2 equations and 3 unknowns so this is expected.

This has been posted here before. Couldn't figure it out then. 😦

Seems straightforward, but it is deceptively hard!

wish I paid more attention in class
