LOL, try solving the problem and you'll see why he needs it. I'm afraid he's not the stupid one at the moment. [img]tongue.gif[/img] 
Gabrielles I see how you decided on which were impossible but you are not using maths or logic much. You didn't even LIST the combination which is the correct answer. Try finding the rest of the possible age combinations that give a product of 36. Another clue is that you don't actually need to assume that an 18 year old is not a kid - the solution still works if you don't assume anything about how kids are classed based on age.
