Here's the latest brain teaser:
Tom is from the census bureau and greets Mary at her door. The have the following conversation:How old are Mary's kids and what is Mary's house number? (Yes, there is enough information here to solve the problem!)
Tom: I need to know how old your three kids are.
Mary: The product of their ages is 36.
Tom: I still don't know their ages.
Mary: The sum of their ages is the same as my house number.
Tom: I still don't know their ages.
Mary: The younger two are twins.
Tom: Now I know their ages! Thanks!
Even though this is one of my golden oldies, it is still tough. Answers are due NLT 0730 Friday, 5 April. Be prepared to describe your work. Good luck.
