    Hi,

    Hint is in it "the oldest loves chocolate."

    the ages are 8,3,3 for sure.

    Only oldest loves chocolate means a girl age 8 can eat chocolate. less chances for up-to age 3

    hi, in the information provided by the farmer, he hasn't mentioned that any of his daughters are twins, that gives a hint that the ages should differ from one another. hence, this was the possible solution to go for.
    6 + 4 + 3 = 13 and 6 * 4 * 3 = 72.

    We are talking about sum total to be 13 and the product of the total should be 72. if either of the constraint is not there.. then, there are n number of solutions.. and all the above mentioned solutions are correct..
