Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I was walking through my hometown last week. Suddenly I ran into a friend of mine, that I hadn't seen for years. He's standing in front of his house. When I asked him about his kids, he told me he had three kids. He knew I always loved maths so he told me that the product of their ages equals his own age, 36. Seeing I was puzzled, he then told me to add up their ages, so I would get his housenumber. I looked at his housenumber, but still didn't know their age. Then I heard someone playing the piano inside the house. "Oh, that's my oldest kid playing", he told me. AND then I knew how old his oldest kid was. Do you know?
