Belle's age right now is a perfect number, which should narrow down the choices considerably.

My age is currently the product of two primes; later this year my age will still be the product of two primes but will also be a Fibonacci number.

Simple deductive reasoning will easily produce both our current ages. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
Belle is: 28 that was easy
you are: 33 i think...
bah you made me think it's supposed to be school holidays
so i guess that places me in the age of school going
so I'm 16
[/QUOTE]yes 33=3*11 34=2*17, and the fibonacci numbers are: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89, with each one being the sum of the two before it, so 34 is a fibonacci number, and the product of two primes
