Fun mathematical model to announce pregnancy to husband
Congratulations!
Here's a possible fun approach:
Ask him to convert the following to base $36$:
$\frac{222,931,132,460,168,112}{332,378,040,005,725}$
The answer, in decimal form, is:
$670\frac{237,845,656,332,362}{332,378,040,005,725}$
Converted to base $36$, where $a=10$, $b=11$, and so on up to $z=35$, that works out to:
$im.pregnant\overline{impregnant}_{36}$
He should probably use Wolfram|Alpha, and make sure he clicks the "More digits" button, until it sinks in.
A mother is $21$ years older than her son.
In six years' time the child will be $5$ times younger than her mother.
Question: Where is the father?

Solution:
The boy is now ten years old.
The mother has today $Y$ years.
$\implies X + 21 = Y$
In $6$ years:
$5 (X + 6) = Y + 6$
So
$5X + 30 = X + 21 + 6$
$4X = -3$
$X = -\dfrac 34$
The boy is now $-\dfrac 34$ years, that is, $-9$ months.
So the father is ....
