Nice math riddle try it I DARE YOU?!


Question: Nice math riddle try it I DARE YOU!?
plato and gause are walking down the street, talking to each other!. This is their conversation!.
Gausse:So how many children do you have!?
Plato: I have three children
gausse: How old are they!?
Plato: Their ages is a factor of 36
gausse:THat doesnt tell me how old they are!?
Plato: the sum of their ages is the same as the adress on the other side of the street!.
Gausse: It is still imposible for me to know!
Plato: The oldest is at his grandmothers house
Gausse: Ahh now i know!.

Find each of the childrens ages!Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
The three kids are 9, and 2 year old twins!.

There are only 8 ways to get a product of 36 with 3 whole numbers (they must be whole numbers because it's ages, and only kids say "I'm 13 and a half"!)!. I'll add the sums as well for future reference!.

1+1+36=38
1+2+18=21
1+3+12=16
1+4+9=14
1+6+6=13
2+2+9=13
2+3+6=11
3+3+4=10

If the sum (address across the street) was 38, 21, 16, 14, 11, or 10, he would have been able to solve the problem immediately because there is only one possibility for each sum!. But since he couldn't figure it out based on that alone, you know that the house across the street was number 13 because there is no unique solution!. So now there are still two possible answers, 1+6+6 or 2+2+9!. However, not very often do you call one of your twins the "oldest"!. Therefore you know the oldest child is NOT a twin!. Leaving you with 9+2+2!.

Long explanation, sorry!.
