Someone said to two matematicians (A and B)
"I have two numbers in mind. They are both greater than 1, and their sum is less than 100. I will whisper A their product, and B their sum." (B does not know the product, and A does not know the sum)
Then he does as he said. After which the following conversation took place:
A: I don't know what the numbers are.
B: I already knew that you didn't know what the numbers were.
A: Now I know the numbers.
B: Now I know the numbers too.
What are the two numbers?
