I hope you all had a nice time yesterday celebrating any fathers in your lives.
The first one is an old chestnut that caused a hearty debate between my dad and me.
Id prefer not to share which one of us had it right.

Puzzle #47: All in the Family
- Who is in the photograph?
A girl has an equal number of brothers and sisters.
But each of her brothers has only half as many brothers as sisters.
How many kids are in the family?
How is this possible?
Ill be back Monday with the answers and a new puzzle.
Do you know a cool puzzle that you think should be featured here?
Shuffle a normal face-down deck of 52 playing cards and then flip one card at a time face up.
In other words, youll flip over cards until you see an ace of any suit.
The exact same reasoning applies to the king of spades.
Only one of the 52 available positions would put the king of spades just after the first ace.
Both cards have a 1/52 chance of following the first ace.
Reshuffle the same deck and start flipping again.
This time, before flipping, you must guess when the first black ace will appear.
Which position in the deck is most likely, or are they all the same?
The first black ace is most likely to appear at the very top of the deck.
News from the future, delivered to your present.
