Sons

2 genius friends met each other. They haven't seen each other in over 20 years.

the first genius says to the second: "how have you been?"
second: i got married and i have 3 Sons now
first: really? how old are they?
second: well, the product of their ages is 72, and the sum of their ages is the same as the number on that building over there..
first: right, ok.. oh wait.. hmm, i still don't know
second: oh sorry, the oldest one just started to play the piano
first: wonderful! my oldest is the same age!

problem: how old are the Sons?

Find all the combinations to make product 72...

The clue for getting correct combination is "right, ok.. oh wait.. hmm, i still don't know"... From this we can know there are two combination with the same values when we add...

The values are 6 , 6 , 2 and 8 , 3 , 3

But from "oh sorry, the oldest one just started to play the piano" we can know the oldest ones age is unique that is 8.

So the answer is 8,3,3. (Its not necessary that the last two Son are twins they can also be born in the same year)...

Thanks
