Crazypainter, I know you are a newbie, so allow me to ask politely that you check out the instructions on how to include "spoilers" in your response. Many people enjoy reading feedback and solving puzzles on their own, and this is really the only way to protect that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 It could also be that the first person is the father, the second person is the son and the third person is the cousin of the second. So the first person is not the third person's father but the second person is brother of the third person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
