At a census there is the following dialog:
Field helper: number of children?
Citizen: three!
Field helper: age of Your children in whole numbers?
Citizen: The product of the years is 36.
Field helper: This not a sufficent answer!
Citizen: The sum of the ages equals the
number of the house of our next neighbour.
(Field helper acquires the number.)
Field helper: That is still not a sufficient answer!
Citizen: Our eldest child plays the piano.
Field helper: (after some mental calculations) – Fine, now I know the age of your three children. But it would not have been possible without the last clue.
