Here's a quicky to keep things ticking:
King Tut died 120 years after King Eros was born. Their combined ages when they died was 100 years. King Eros died in the year 40 B.C. In what year was King Tut born?

Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see enough information here to make that determination.

I dont think you have enough info
mathematically to solve it
however i think there is some
kind of historical clue that is
supposed to help
too bad i dont know what it is
.
You've got all the info you need (mathematically).
There are no historical clues, it could just as easily have said that King Eros died in 1940, except that would not have made much sense.

Did a google search on it and u do have enough clues,
but even then i had to get it down on paper

Lynx is correct - This is all we need. However, you need to do more than read it - You need to analyse it.
Eros was born - 120 years after, Tut died. They had a combined age of 100. Considering the 100 combined year compared to the 120 years, they could have not be alive at the same time - They lived in seperate time spaces.
The 100 years can be done in any way, but it still leaves 20 years before the death of King Eros and the birth of King Tut. Eros died in 40 BC, so Tut was born in 20 BC.
Easy when you know how
.
Easy really, all you had to do was pick an age for eros, subtract that from his date of death, add 120 years, then subtract (100-Eros's age) and you get 20BC, no matter what age you pick for Eros.
