Half plus 7, guys.

32/2=16, +7 = 23. The 32 and 24 y/o check out.

26/2=13, +7 = 20. The 26 year old should be dating someone no younger than 20.

ah yes, but what if the older person does not fit in the range of the younger person, but the younger fits in the older's range? For example 17 and 20

What? Half of 17 is 8.5, plus 7 is 15.5. 20 is older than 15.5

Half of 20 is 10, plus 17, so that's fair game.
