If the 7 kids she has are the 7 boys then the other boy could be the father and the 7 girls could be herself and her 6 sisters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 So, the mother had 14 children yet there are only 14 members of the family? Please put more thought into your riddles before posting. I'm hoping there isn't going to be a silly answer such as "She had another boy". Since she has seven boys and seven girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 How can there be 14 in a family yet she has 14 kids? According to my calculations: 7+7+1=15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 with 14 in the family, not counting the mother and father, i would guess that she counted one of them twice. i can never keep my 3 kids in one place let alone 14 of 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 One of the kids has a baby. It's still related to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
