My head really hurts, but this is aparently possible ...

A ROPE OVER THE TOP OF A FENCE HAS THE SAME LENGTH ON EACH SIDE.
WEIGHS 1/3 POUND PER FOOT. ON ONE END HANGS A MONKEY HOLDING A
BANANA, AND ON THE OTHER END A WEIGHT EQUAL TO THE WEIGHT
OF THE MONKEY. THE BANANA WEIGHS TWO OUNCES PER INCH.
THE ROPE IS AS LONG AS THE AGE OF THE MONKEY,
AND THE WEIGHT OF THE MONKEY (IN OUNCES) IS AS MUCH
AS THE AGE OF THE MONKEY'S MOTHER. THE COMBINED AGES OF MONKEY
AND MOTHER ARE THIRTY YEARS. HALF THE WEIGHT OF THE MONKEY,
PLUS THE WEIGHT OF THE BANANA, IS ONE FOURTH AS MUCH AS THE WEIGHT
OF THE WEIGHT AND THE ROPE.
THE MONKEY'S MOTHER IS HALF AS OLD AS THE MONKEY WILL BE
WHEN IT IS 3 TIMES AS OLD AS ITS MOTHER WAS WHEN
SHE WAS HALF AS OLD AS THE MONKEY WILL BE WHEN IT IS
AS OLD AS ITS MOTHER WILL BE WHEN SHE IS 4 TIMES AS
OLD AS THE MONKEY WAS WHEN IT WAS TWICE AS OLD AS
ITS MOTHER WAS WHEN SHE WAS ONE THIRD AS OLD AS THE
MONKEY WAS WHEN IT WAS AS OLD AS ITS MOTHER WAS WHEN
SHE WAS 3 TIMES AS OLD AS THE MONKEY WAS WHEN IT WAS AS OLD AS ITS
MOTHER WAS WHEN SHE WAS 3 TIMES AS OLD AS THE MONKEY
WAS WHEN IT WAS ONE FOURTH WAS OLD AS IT IS NOW.

HOW LONG IS THE BANANA?
