Thanks for the PM Bambi, i get it now. That one hurt my brain for some reason. I'm usually pretty good at that type riddle. It must of been the beers last night and i'm sticking to that excuse

2, 6 and 6.  The strawberries rules out 2, 2 and 18, as well as 3, 3 and 8 (which is the same sum as 2+6+6).

Right, this has done my head in. I don't get it, I'm either numb or it's too early in the morning for logic (and i had a few beers last night). Will someone pm me the definitive answer and what &lt;deleted&gt; have strawberries got to do with it

The youngest son likes strawberries. Meaning there is one youngest son - there cannot be two sons with the same age, therefore ruling out those options.
