Cheryl’s Children

Tom meets a new neighbour, Cheryl, next door to him. During the conversation with Cheryl, Tom asks her: “How many kids do you have”. “Three” replied Cheryl. Tom asked “How old are they?”

Cheryl answered:”The product of their ages is 36. The sum of their ages are the same as my house number.” After some time Tom replied “I can’t figure it out. I don’t have enough information”. “My apologies, I forgot to tell you that my youngest child likes strawberry milk” replied Cheryl. Tom figured out their ages after her answer and Cheryl confirmed that he was right.
