just give them an apple each..cause the grandfather is one person..the father is another, and the two sons is both the father and one of his sons..so there are only 3 people

There are only 3 people starving on this boat: the Father, with his son, is also the son of the Grandfather, ergo the two sons. If each eats an apple, all persons on this boat will get an equal share.

The Grandfather is the oldest guy, His son is the "Son #1".
"Son #1" is also a father, "Son #1" is the father of "Son #2".
Technically there are only three people on the boat so they can each have an apple each if there are 3 apples!!

Hopefully the Grandfather and Father are both sons so they get 1 1/2 apples each.
