A simple arithmetic puzzle
Teacher to the class:
The product of three brothers ages is 36.
Can you work out their ages?
No one seems able to,
So the first clue:
The sum of the brothers ages is equal to the house number opposite little Johnny Browns home.
Can you work out their ages??
Again the answer eludes,
So clue # 2:
The eldest brother plays the piano!
And presto the answer is evident.
So forum members, put your logical and lateral thinking caps on.
How old are the 3 brothers?????????

Steve
