Date: Thu, 21 Oct 93 10:23:54 +0100 From: dbh Here's a challenging puzzle I saw on soc.roots yesterday: A tombstone on a family grave reads Two grandmothers and their two granddaughters, Two mothers and their two sons, Two fathers and their two wives, Two sisters and their two brothers, But only six corpses lie buried here, All legitimate and free of incest clear. To be fair, in the solution I've seen, the sisters are not sisters of each other (in fact they are each other's half-aunts), nor are the brothers brothers of each other (but they are step-fathers of each other) and each sister is only a half-sister of a half-brother.
