Bob and Mark talk about their families. Bob says he has 3 kids, the product of their ages is 72. He gives another clue: the sum

of the ages of his children. Mark points out that there is still not enough information to accurately guess. Finally, Bob says, "My youngest child called Justice." Mark can then correctly determine the ages of Bob's children. What are the ages?

I just encountered this question. Here's my answer:

Given:
3 kids
product of their ages is 72.
Youngest child.

The youngest child means that all three kids have different ages.

We need to factor 72. Let us use prime factorization.

72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 =   9
  9 ÷ 3 =   3
  3 ÷ 3 =   1

1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72

Based on the factors we can assume the following ages:

2 x 4 x 9   = 72
3 x 4 x 6   = 72
1 x 8 x 9   = 72  I prefer this age combination.
1 x 3 x 24 = 72
<span>1 x 4 x 18 = 72</span>

What is the 5-digit code?
kvv77 [185]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  4 2 6 1 7 or 1 2 4 3 7

Step-by-step explanation:

4 are correct of 1,3,4,6,7

3 are correct of 0,2,3,6,7

1 is correct of 0,3,6,8,7 -- so not both 3 and 6, meaning 1, 4, 7 are correct

Correct digits so far are 1, 4, 7 and one of {3, 6}. Line 2 tells another is 0 or 2; line 3 tells it is not 0. This adds 2 to the list of correct digits.

This makes the correct digits 1, 2, {3, 6}, 4, 7. We don't know whether the last digit is 3 or 6.

__

Looking at digits correctly placed, line 2 tells us the code is either ...

  _ 2 6 _ 7  or  _ 2 _ 3 7

Then line 1 fills in those blanks as ...

  4 2 6 1 7  or  1 2 4 3 7

Either of these codes agrees with all of the clues.
