    The sun is 7 years old
    The father is 49 years old and the grandfather is 84 years old.
    The trick here is that the father age in weeks is not his age * 52 (weeks in a year) but multiply by 365(days in a year)/7 (days a week) because every 7 years we get one more week.

    the age of the sun in days is 7*365 = 2555 add the father age in weeks is 49*365(days)/7(days a week) =  2555
