During my 20th wedding anniversary party, John asked me the age of my three children. I told John that given the sum and product of their ages, Smith missed the problem tonight and David missed it at the party two years ago. My youngest child always insists I should tell people their age in the form of sum and product.
Can you determine the age of my three children? You may assume that they were born after my marriage.
