A Family Gathering (Posted on 2004-03-31) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Four people are sitting around a campfire after a long day of recreation, when one man comments: "Do you realize that around this campfire, the four of us include a mother, father, brother, sister, son, daughter, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle and a couple of cousins"?.
If everyone is related by blood (with no unusual marriages) how is this possible?

The campfire circle includes a woman and her brother.
The woman's daughter and the man's son are also present.
