Original puzzle is here: http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=wordplay&Number=131196three little girls...if you multiplied their ages by each other the product would be thirty-six. possible ages are 36 � 1 � 1; sum is 38 18 � 2 � 1; sum is 21 12 � 3 � 1; sum is 16 9 - 4 � 1; sum is 14 9 � 2 � 2; sum is 13 6 � 6 � 1; sum is 13 6 � 3 � 2; sum is 11 4 � 3 � 3; sum is 10 The sum of their three ages is the same number as my apartment numberIf there�s still uncertainty, the sum must be 13, because that's the only sum with more than one possible set of three addends. So the ages are either 9-2-2 or 6-6-1. The oldest little girl has blue eyes There�s an oldest! That means the ages can�t be 6-6-1 because the two six-year-olds are the same age (measured in years, anyway) and nobody could accurately be called �oldest.� HOW OLD ARE THE GAY CHICK'S LITTLE GIRLS? That leaves only nine, two, and two. QED. Nein, ja? Ja!
