I have answered this question before. This should be in the Mathematics category. 

Given:
Bob has three kids whose ages has the product of 72. I will only be able to give you a set of 3 numbers to represent the ages. Had the sum of the ages been given, the specific ages would be provided.

I just did a prime factorization of 72.

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   ⇒ 2³ x 3²

There are a lot of possible combinations, here are a few.

1 x 8 x   9 = 72      ⇒ 1 + 8 + 9 = 18
1 x 4 x 18 = 72      ⇒ 1 + 4 + 18 = 23
2 x 4 x   9 = 72      ⇒ 2 + 4 + 9 = 15

Pavel [41]
I think the time of "the road not taken" and "song of the open road" pretty much described in the title themselves. Both tell the story of the importance of personal value and the freedom of making decision.

Based on that, the answers would be :
- Finding one's direction in life
- Embracing the unknown
