Two matematicians meet, they were college mates who hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they start discussing trivia:

Math. A: I have a wife and three kids now.

Math. B: Bet I can guess the kid's ages if you'd give me a clue.

A: The product of the ages equals 36.

B: Another clue?

A: The sum of the ages equals the number of THAT house.

B: Just one more?

A: Alright. My oldest son plays the piano.

dizzy Try to figure this out.:/

I've heard this puzzle before, just with sisters.
