freeztar Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Three mathematicians are talking."How many kids do you have?" The first asks the second mathematician."Three," she answers."How old are they?" he asks."Well if you multiply their ages, you get 72. But if you add them, you getyour office number." She says. The first mathematician thinks for a few seconds and says, "I do not thinkthere is enough information for me to solve this!" he says. The mother mathematician immediately says, "Oh, of course, I forgot to tellyou that the eldest plays the violin!" What are the children's ages?

Jay-qu Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Freezy, have you seen lord of the rings? seige towers are rolled up to the walls so people can climb up onto the walls protected from arrows. Unlike ladders which can also be easily push over also. As to your riddle: 6, 4 & 3 I want say how I did it incase others want to do it :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to your riddle: 6, 4 & 3 I want say how I did it incase others want to do it :( There's an alternate solution, hence the riddle. :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modest Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Which I am aware of, hence why I wont tell people why this one is correct I hope you could because I'm embarrassed to say I don't see why it wouldn't be any appropriate mix of 72's factors, such as: 2, 3, 12 or 3, 4, 6 or1, 4, 18 or 3, 3, and 8 unless we are limited by what the office number should be... I don't get it :eek2: Oh, wait - I just got it. The office number has to be the same for more than one of the mix of factors - and 14 is the only sum where that's true and 2, 6, 6 would hardly make sense - ok, got it :shrug: -modest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay-qu Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 To clarify, the last bit of info 'The eldest plays the violin' excludes the 2,6,6 solution, since that implies there would be two eldest's :Exclamati Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
