Brothers and Sisters (Posted on 2002-12-30) Difficulty: 2 of 5
There is a man looking at someone's picture and says:

Brothers and Sisters I have none,
but this man's father is my father's son.

Whose picture is the man looking at?

Solution re: mans picture | Comment 5 of 54 |
(In reply to mans picture by terry)

S = "This Man"
F1 = "This man's father"
F2 = "my father"
S = "my father's son"
(S = me or my brother; I have no brothers => S = me)

"This man's father" is "my father's son" => F1 = S = me

The man holding the picture is the father of the man in the picture; the man in the picture is his son.
