    Huh?

    The boy, his two sisters, the mother (the child of her mother) and the father (the child of his father). 1 + 2 + 1 + 1=5.

    Are you pretending that the father and the mother are brothers ?
    Thats why the problem mentioned daughter in law.The only son of the grandfathers is the father.

    And also the problem asks for the minimun number of members in the family. Otherwise there would be 2 extra members the fathers of the mother.

    How old are you?

    the boy is the son of his parents. He has two sisters each of which is the daughter of his parents. His father is the child of his grandfather and his mother is the child of his grandmother. That's five children.

    The mother is the daughter-in-law of the grandfather.

    1 grandfather, 1 grandmother...those are the mother-in-law and the father-in-law...

    Daughter-in-law is the wife of your son, btw.

    The boy is the brother of his sisters, which makes 1 brother, he has 2 sisters, that's three grandchildren.

    And yeah, obviously, minimum, that's the whole point.

    What's the problem with this exactly?

    WE have grand-fathers from the side of our father and grand-fathers from the side of our mother. Does the age matters HERE?

    I meant, what are you, 14 or something? What is it that you don't get? Yes we have grandfathers on both sides, but there only needs to be ONE grandfather and ONE grandmother in the question. What are you talking about?

    Look, it's all right there. Seven people definitely works, it COULD be less though, but 7 works.

    This is barring incest, though. Hehe I bet with mad nasty incest we could bring it down to one.

    Dont you get it ?they are presenting the grand - fathers from the side of the father because of the fact that mentions : There are 2 sons which are the brother and father.


    I see your pointand the mother makes 3 daughters on the family also the grand-mother ; they were bron from someboy.

    I KNOW there are two sons, the brother and the father, that's what I SAID IN THE FIRST PLACE! The father is the son of his mother just as much as he's the son of his father, the grandmother can be on the father's side, it doesn't make a difference.

    Why grandfatherS? There is only one grandfather and one grandmother. There can't be two grandfathers on the side of the father anyway, how doea that make any sense? Look, write slower, read what you write before you post it. Hables ingles???

    Really, how old ARE you?
