Remember NO Googling or searching the Internet allowed and good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My age is half of a perfect square.
My age is 2 times a perfect square.
My age is one-eighth of a perfect square.
Reverse the digits of my age to get a perfect square.

How old am I?

    Math
    My brain shut down on this one! I have a severe aversion to anything related to numbers!
    ( unless it involves a great percentage off a sale item! )

    My daughter with the Mathematics degree told me the anwser! Very interesting!

    Hope all you Math brains have fun!

    Take Care,

    I think
    My age is 18-

    18 is 1/2 of 36 (6X6)
    18 is 2X9
    18 is 1/8 of 144 (12X12)
    18 reversed is 81
