A conversation took place between Don And Jon. Don, who had a good memory, asked Jon how many children he had. Jon replied that he had 3. Don then asked how old the children were. Her friend, who knew how much Don enjoy puzzles, said that he would give her a number of clues to the children's ages.
Jon's 1st clue: "the product of the children's ages is 36." Don immediately replied that this was insufficient information.
Jon's 2nd clue: "all of the children's ages are integers; none are fractional ages such as 1 1/2 years old." Still, Don could not deduce the correct answer.
Jon's 3rd clue: "the sum of the three children's ages is identical to the address of the house where we played chess together often, years ago." Don still required more information.
Jon then gave his fourth clue: "the oldest child looks like me." At this
point, Don was able to determine the ages of the three children.
Here is your problem: What were the ages of the three children?
