A census taker walks up to a house and asks the woman how many children she has and how old they are. She says the product of all of their ages is 72 and that she has three children. After trying to figure out he says he doesn't have enough information. She then says that the sum of their ages is the house number (you dont know the house number.). He trys figuring this out and again says he needs more information. She says my oldest kid likes chocolate pudding and he nods and walks away knowing how old they are.
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THIS OR WHAT THE HECK IT EVEN MEANS!!! HELP??? Eternally grateful!!!
