From the factorizations of 36: (36,1,1), (18,2,1), (9,4,1),
(9,2,2), (6,6,1), (6,3,2), (4,3,3). All these add to distinct
sums except 9+2+2 = 6+6+1 = 13. That must be the first 2 digits
of the address next door (plus one), or the man would not have needed more information. The child playing the piano must be the oldest which means the the other two (twins) must be 2, not 6. So, the children are aged 9, 2, 2.
