huh? you totally lost me
how exactly were we to figure out they are supposed to be twins? when you stated the problem there was not a single mention of wether the boys were single born, twins, or triplets
and whats this deal with same sum, same product? how did this come into play?
im thinking there might be a few out there who are still confused like me

The key is : B: "My middle son is red-haired."
If they were twins or triplets there couldn't be a middle son!

I can now understand... Since the postman wanted to know if they were twins there must be 2 combinations that have the same sum and product...

{edit} What if you have kids that were 9 or 10 months apart...they are the same age 2-3 months a year...and not twins...hmmm
In any case...it's still pretty clever.
Cheers
