A HOLIDAY CHALLENGE

Here is a tougher challenge to carry you through the holidays.  Good luck.

A man is walking down the street when meets another man mowing his lawn.  They talk and the second man mentions that he has three daughters.  He also mentions that their ages, when multiplied together, equal 36.  Their ages added together are the same as the address of the house across the street.  He challenges the first man to solve the puzzle.  The first man walks across the street, looks at the address, comes back and says, “You’ll have to tell me just a bit more.”  The second man then say, “OK…My oldest daughter plays  piano.”  The man then immediately solves the puzzle.

What are the ages of the three girls?


This challenge will close out at 0730, Monday 6 January 2014.  The prize will be a delicious  breakfast pastry.  Late entries will not be accepted--if no one answers correctly by 0730, I will eat the pastry myself.
