If Hans is now 8 years old, in four years he will be 8 + 4 = 12 years old.
In four years, Annika will be three times as old as Hans, so she will be 12 * 3 = 36 years old.
Since the question asks for Annika's current age, we need to subtract four years from her future age, so Annika is currently 36 - 4 = 32 years old.
#### 32
The answer is: 32
