A dragon captures two scientists, A & B, for dinner and tells them that he will set them free if they can both guess the age of his two children. He tells scientist (A) the product of their ages and scientist (B) the sum. They are not allowed to tell each other any numbers. The two scientists get together and have the following conversation:
Scientist A: I don’t know.
Scientist B: Me neither.
Scientist A: Now I know!!!
Scientist B: Me too!!!
How old are the dragon’s kids?

I got 8 and 1...
A uses 9 letters for the product but you subtract 1 for the I and you get DON'T KNOW - 8 is the product
B uses 9 letters for the sum...Since 8 is the product, 8+x=9...x=1
I think

the product of their ages(A) is 'i dont know'
the sum of their ages (B)is 'me neither'
he only said do not use #s
or 9 and 1 (nine letters used in each)
