Mr. Burton has a wife and a daughter; the daughter has a husband and a son. The following facts refer to the people mentioned:
- One of the five people is a doctor and one of the other four is the doctor’s patient.
- The doctor’s first offspring and the patient’s older parent are of the same sex.
- The doctor’s first offspring is:
- not the patient, and:
- not the patient’s older parent.
Who is the doctor?
