If you've seen it before, keep quiet. Otherwise let's see who's quick to solve it. Send me the answer in a PM and I'll tell you if you're right so as not to spoil it for others until say, a day or two has passed. So here is the problem:

A maths teacher is invited round for dinner to a friend's house. The friend has 3 young children that the teacher hasn't met yet. The maths teacher asks his friend how old the kids are. His friend answers: "You're a maths teacher, I'll give you a clue, work it out! The clue is that the product of their ages is 36."
The teacher thinks for a bit and then asks for another clue. "Ok 2nd clue is that the sum of their ages is the same as our house number." The maths teacher goes outside looks at the house number, comes back in and says: "Ok but I still need another clue." "3rd clue: the oldest one plays the violin." The maths teacher then says: "Ah ok, now I know their ages."

The question is, what are the ages of the 3 children?
My cousin gave me this question. It's a bit tricky but sit down with a bit of paper and have a go and you should be able to do it too [img]smile.gif[/img]
