A man conducting a survey visits the home of a woman. He knocks on the door and sees a woman with her three children. He asks for the ages of her children. She tells him, “The product of their ages is 72. And the sum of their ages is the number on the door.” So the man goes outside and checks the number of the door. He comes back and says, “I need more information.” She replies: “The oldest one likes strawberries.” Immediately, the man figures out their ages. What are their ages?

Wasn’t my answer correct if I’d only follow the first clue?
No comprehendo. I’ll hafta get back to it tomorrow!
So the man goes outside and checks the number of the door. He comes back and says, “I need more information.”
He sees the sum on the door but doesn’t know the answer based on that. It must be a sum that doesn’t lead you straight to the answer, it must be a sum that just narrows down your choices. The only two combos I have with the same sum are the ones listed above.

I forgot to list
6, 4, 3
But that’s not the right answer anyway

On one thread I wrote that he’s stuck in the cabinet and since I don’t need both 20 qt pots at the same time till next Elul it can Rest In Peace till then. Along cake Crust and stirred up a soup commotion and opened another thread RIP the pot. So I went along with it... but in reality it’s very much alive, just stuck!

Oh, so he is not dead? that's good news... because there was thread about a leaking pot not too long ago... In the past, there was profession pot-repairman, but I think it went out of fashion...
