No where in the problem does it state that all the children are from the same woman, and no where does it state that the children can have an age difference of less then one year. (For example, If I were born on Sept 30 1981, and my brother were born August 24 1982 we would both be the same age (in years) today, but I don't think anyone would dispute the fact that I was the older brother).
Well if you want to be REALLY nitpicky then you can't assume they are from the same woman, but who cares? It doesn't change the fact that they are 3 kids and the facts about their ages. Also, we are talking about ages rounded to the nearest year. I don't see the reason to make the post that you did since it doesn't effect the problem. This problem can be solved with logic and nothing else, no assumptions need to be made. There is only one answer which fits all the logic given in the question, no more or less information is needed.
