Charles walks over a railway-bridge. At the moment that he is just ten meters away from the middle of the bridge, he hears a train coming from behind. At that moment, the train, which travels at a speed of 90 km/h, is exactly as far away from the bridge as the bridge measures in length. Without hesitation, Charles rushes straight towards the train to get off the bridge. In this way, he misses the train by just four meters! If Charles would, however, have rushed exactly as fast in the other direction, the train would have hit him eight meters before the end of the bridge.

Two men, both the same age, sitting in a Railway Station waiting for their trains, struck up a conversation. One said to the other,' I have three sons. Let's see how many clues I have to give you before you're able to figure out their ages. To make it easy, we'll deal in the whole years only. The question is, what are their ages next birthday?"
The other man agreed to give it a try. The first man continued.
One: the sum of my sons ages is 13. The second man shook his head.
Two: the product of their ages is the same as your age.
"Carry on," said the second man.

Four: ?
"Stop," said the second man, " I think I've got it.'
