Riddles

A traveling salesperson shows up at the apartment of a math teacher to peddle her wares. During the course of her spiel, the salesperson discovers that the teacher has 3 children and inquires as to their ages.

The teacher answers, "The sum of my children's ages is the same as my apartment number."

The salsperson immediately declares, "That's not enough information to deduce your kid's ages!"

The teacher continues," Well, the product of their ages is the same as my apartment number."

After taking a quick check of the apartment number, the salesperson thinks for a minute but then sighs, "That's STILL not enough information for me to figure it out."

So the teacher says,"Oh, I forgot to mention, my eldest child is allergic to chocolate."

At which point the salsperson exclaims, "Aha, now I know all their ages!"

What are the ages of the children?


Can you solve it?

 

1,2,3?

 

Thats good. First try in the five minutes. The chocolate part elimantes the chance of triplets if people were wondering

 

There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don't give up.

1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

HINTS

1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.

 

It was easy math

 

ages are 1,2,3?
1+2+3=6
1*2*3=6
edit: nvm didn't see someone already posted, was thinking of the answer lol

 

Einstein? Yuh

The German owns the fish.

 

Damn you and already knowing riddles.

 

haha it was luck, I was forced to read a book on Einstein.. 98% of people cannot answer that riddle.

 

lol, 2 days ago after we finished a test my teacher handed out the "who owns the fish" riddle, but i didn't bother becuz i got stuck and gave up.. and it wasn't for marks or anytihng so i didn't really care heh

 

It is really simple to solve. Just make a simple table and then fill in the blanks.

 

yea but im the lazy kind of people lol.. if its not for marks or if it isn't a must do, i usually don't do it
