Flap, Flep, Flip and Flop are related to each other, but not incestuously.

Among the four are Flap's mother, Flep's brother, Flip's father and Flop's daughter, and the oldest and the youngest are of opposite sex.

One is a different sex from the other three: who?

We have only two choices <o:p></o:p>

1)       one female and three males<o:p></o:p>

2)       one male and three females<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

1) In this case Flap’s mother is Flop’s daughter<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Flop (male) _____flip (female) ----------flap (male)<o:p></o:p>

                                                                                       |_______flep (male)<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

This is excluded because both the oldest and the youngest are of same sex (males)<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

<o:p></o:p>2)  in this case flep’s brother is Flip’s father<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

flep (female) <o:p></o:p>

                      |____ flop (male )_____flip(female)_____flap(female)      <o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

we can say flop(the only male) is flep’s (female) biggest brother , flip’s (female)father and flap’s(female) grandfather.                <o:p></o:p>
