they can be 2, 2, and 9. or 3, 3, 4

or 1, 3, 12

theres many possibilities

Since there has to be an oldest daughter, you cant have the oldest have a twin (same age)

PRODUCT is a multiplication answer, delakong.

Oops, my bad. I forgot. You know how it after summer vacation and you go back to math class? I got that time ten.

You get my point though right? I don't think there's enough information.

yes there is, what? I don't understand your reply. If you mean there is enough info the why do you yourself say there are many possibilities (sp?)?

Nevermind, I just realized that there is. Disregard the above.

2+2+9=13
1+6+6=13
Stumped.

The single nine year old daughter is eldest hence 2,2,9.

[Edit: thanks Henry]

Upon arriving at a hotel in a far-away place, the only thing of value you have is a golden bracelet of seven links. The clerk agrees to accept one link per night and you cannot pay in advance or at the end. Cutting the bracelet can damage the rings so you must minimize the number of cuts you make. How can you stay for seven nights?

strangle the clerk with the bracelet and tell him if he doesn't let u stay then u'll choke him to death.

Jenn picked a book off the highest shelf in her room. On the spine she read How to Jog. She ran out of the room and opened the book but found it had absolutely nothing to do with jogging. Explain...

Since the book was on the top shelf, it is not eligible to the international rule of having a title relevant to the contents of the book. Simply put, Jenn is a moron.

back to Teds question, surley u dont have to pay ir payment till after the night is over or u can pay before the night so the first night u don't pay till the next night then on the last night u pay for the previous night and the last so u only make 6 cuts. but u culd cut it less if u did that every other night. so ud be giving them away in sets of twos therefore cutting only three times.

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????
(theres a real easy one)

Henry

TO pay the innkeeper

Cut it in the middle so you have a 4 and a 3, then cut 1 off the three leaving you with a 2 and a 1 and a 4

First Nite - Pay the 1
Second Nite - Give him the 2, get the 1 back As Change
THird Nite - Cut 1 off the 4, give him the 3, Get the 2 Back as Change
Fourht Nite - Give Him the 1
Fifth Nite - Give Him the other 1
Sixth Nite - Give Him the 2, Get 1 Back as Change
Seventh Nite - Give Him the 1

3 Cuts?
