Math Is Fun Forum

hi TMorgan,

Yes I get your point..

hi bobbym,

what kind of concessions?...like if we start measuring after 1 second has passed and assume that the dog is with the boy at this instant?

Thanks..

Hi samalia, goteamusa, LycanMaster;

Read the statement of the question slowly and carefully..break it down into simple logical parts.

The man says, "Brothers and sisters, I have none, but that man's father, is my father's son."

1. Brothers and sisters, I have none --- means that he is the only child of his parents.
2. but that man's father --- 'that' refers to the person in the portrait.
3. (but that man's father,) is my father's son --- now my father's son means he himself, since he is an only child right?. So he is 'that man's father'...and so 'that man' is his son!

Reply if you still have any doubt..and well said bobbym.

Hi anonimnystefy,

Oh yes, you are right...changed it.

Hi gAr,

Yes that is correct.

Hi anonimnystefy,

Yes you left ADO out..plus it is not essential that ADO will say the right thing like N:

Say in the first case if instead of 4th, the 5th one is ADO..then he will say Dive whereas normal one says Swim.

Hi,

Yup from 5th to 1st - N, ADO, BF, DO, N

Thanks Bob
:D
