To answer this, we try to list the possible ages of his children. Given above,
xyz=72
That first clue is not sufficient to produce a single solution, so Bob reveals the sum of their ages to Mark (sums sorted in ascending order):
Age1 Age2 Age3 Sum
3 4 6 13
2 6 6 14
3 3 8 14
2 4 9 15
2 3 12 17
1 8 9 18
1 6 12 19
2 2 18 22
1 4 18 23
1 3 24 28
1 2 36 39
1 1 72 74
Mark says that there is still insufficient information, there must be duplicate sets of ages that produce a single product. Here are the two:
Age1 Age2 Age3 Sum
2 6 6 14
3 3 8 14
I think the correct answer are 2, 6, 6.
