Two friends meet in the street.

--How old are your 3 girls ?
.. The product of their ages equals 36, the sum of their ages equals the house number accross the street.

--Easy, but I still miss one more information !
..Right : my last little one is blond.

How old are the girls and why.

snow_rocks · 31 December 2009, 02:47 AM

9, 4, and 1. Blond girl is one year old.

f-du-27 · 31 December 2009, 03:05 AM

2, 3, 6. The blond is a boy. My head hurts

f-du-27 · 31 December 2009, 03:23 AM

No boy !

tnt · 31 December 2009, 05:26 AM

36, 1, 1. there were twin. One with blond, other is just whatever you've called

36 x 1 x 1 = 36

36 + 1 + 1 = 38 or 3 + 8 = 11, or 1 + 1 = 2.
the house number across street is either 38, 11 or 2

36 is your woman' age?

f-du-27 · 31 December 2009, 05:47 AM

No.

The guy says : I miss one more information. There is a good reason for that!

but "I miss one more information" makes no sense grammatically?!

spuds · 31 December 2009, 05:56 AM

actually I've sussed this.....
what colour is the oldest one's hair?????

tnt · 31 December 2009, 06:23 AM

the last little one is still in his woman's stomach and no count for that

2 girls

36 x 1 = 36

36 + 1 = 37

3 + 7 = 1 + 0

And that's why I ignore this in the 1rst place!

snow_rocks · 31 December 2009, 12:42 PM

Ages; twins are 6, youngest is 1.
only 9, 2, 2 & 6, 6, 1 equal 13!

Last child is the one being blond!

explodingtaco · 31 December 2009, 01:47 PM

^^^

The blond is 1 and a set of 6 year old twins . . . Why? I really dont want to say because it is long

But here goes:

Total possible ages with sums:

1 1 36=38
1 2 18=22
1 3 12=16
1 4 9=14
1 6 6=13
2 2 9=13
2 3 6=11
3 3 4=10

Now we have 3 clues:
-1 they product is 36 that is how we get this column
-2 There sum is the number across the street. Now remember the person would know this and instantly know what the answer is, except that two equal the same number so it must be 1 6 6 or 2 2 9 as both equal 13 otherwise clue number three would not be necessary. But since it is:
-3 The youngest is blond imply that she is not a twin so it must be 1 6 6

Now what do I win?

Bravo to snow_rocks and to explodingtako !

Snow_rock was the fastest and explodingtaco gave the solution much better than I could have done in broken English.

Both win the right to offer the same clue to their kids and friends.
