Damn Lies
The Central Statistics office is responsible for the collection, compilation, extraction and dissemination for statistical purposes of information relating to economic, social and general activities and conditions in the State. The initial coordinates indicate the location of the CSO office in Swords. In order to find the cache you'll have to work out the final coordinates based on the following puzzle. Buena suerte.
Mary, who was out collecting data for the CSO, knocks on the door of the house. A woman opens the door. Mary asks her how many children she has. The mother tells Mary that she has three children and the product of their ages is 36. That is not enough information for Mary. She asks for more information. The mother says that the sum of their ages equals the number on the house next door. Mary thinks that over. She realizes that is still not enough information; she's fierce clever. So she asks for another clue. The mother says "the eldest is inside playing the piano." Now Mary knows the answer. She writes it down, thanks the mother and heads off on her merry way, thrilled with her mathematical prowess.
Work out the following:
A: Age of eldest child
B: Age of second child
C: Age of third child
D: Number of house next door
