If Pete is 211 (weird) years older than Ellen and Pete was born in 1956, the...

I´m too with D.

(1) is pretty obvious.
(2) For ((1/2)^(x - 1)) < 0.5 to be true, x should be >2.

Since with x=2, ((1/2)^(x - 1))=1/2 and it will start diminishing as x increases, x is AT LEAST 2 to accomplish with ((1/2)^(x - 1)) < 0.5

13
22
31

(1) Tells us that the number is odd, so it can be either 13 or 31. Insuff
(2) Tells us that xx*2 is less than 44, which only leaves 13 a possible alternative. 2 is sufficient alone. So B
