Statement 1: George and Dorothy are blood relative Statement 2: Howard is Older than George Statement 3: Virginia is younger than Howard Statement 4: Virginia is Older than Dorothy time to solve guys......roll in the answers |

MoyoGENERAL: PUZZLE THREE; Two adults, two kids, thus no case of oldman-younggirl union. Assuming Howard and George to be masculine and Dorothy and Virginia to be feminine. Since Howard is the oldest, then Howard is the father. Also, since Virginia is older than Dorothy, then Virginia is the mother. This lives us with George the son and Dorothy the daughter. However, in another news, Howard is the father, Virginia is his daughter from a previous marriage. Dorothy is the new fine little sexy wife......now mother and Dorothy just had a son George........disclaimer: the second answer is just from Jupiter. |

MoyoGENERAL: PUZZLE THREE; In progress! I'm a programmer. Which means I'm lazy. Which means I'm going to recycle code. Which means, another chart! + - - + - - + - - + - - + |

Statement 1 True - George is Blood related to Dorothy (Father / Daughter) Statement 2 - False - Howard is not older than George Staement 3 - False - Virginia is not younger than Howard. Statement 4 - True - Virginia is older than Dorothy. Father is George Mother is Virginia Son is Howard Daugther is Dorothy Fingers crossed! |

Statement 1 and 3 are the likely true facts applicable to an ideal American family: *Dorothy & George are siblings with Dorothy ( classic American feminine name) being the daughter and George ( equally classic masculine name) being the son. *Traditional American couple sees more acceptable, though not exclusively, the husband as being more older than the wife.Hence, Howard is the father's 1st name while Virginia is the wife's 1st name too. |

MoyoGENERAL: PUZZLE THREE; Statement 1 is either True or False. Only 2 of the statements are true, and only 2 are false. Case A: Statement 1 is True and George is Father, Dorothy Daughter. This means Virginia is Mother and Howard son. Thus Statement 2 is False. Also false is statement 3, while statement 4 would be true. Case A is feasible. Case B: Statement 1 is True, and George is Son, Dorothy Mother. This makes Virginia Daughter and Howard Father. Thus Statement 4 is False. But statements 2 and 3 would be true in a typical family, which makes 3 True statements. Case B is not feasible. Case C: Statement 1 is False. This means George is Father and Dorothy is Mother, as they are not related by blood. This makes Virginia Daughter and Howard Son. Statement 2 is also False then. Statement 3 is inconclusive; we cannot tell who is the older child. However statement 4 is certainly false, which makes 3 False statements. Case C is not feasible. The only feasible case is Case A. Therefore, their first names and family designations are: George : Father Virginia: Mother Howard: Son Dorothy: Daughter |

My solution above rightly assumes the children are not adopted and are not from any earlier marriages, without which assumption the riddle is trivial and unsolvable. |
