[QUOTE=Hashmere;23316833]I think it can be both. It depends on how you perceive the riddle. If you assume that "this man" is Stephen, then it will be. If you assume that it's his son, then that will work as well.[/QUOTE] No, it can't be both. There's only one way to interpret it. It's Stephan's son.
[quote]Stephen was looking at a photo. Someone asked him, "Whose picture are you looking at?" He replied: "[B]I don't have any brother or sister[/B] , but this man's father [B](sons father)[/B] is my father's son. (Stephen as he has no siblings) " So, whose picture was Stephen looking at?[/quote] so the answer is: Stephen's son
[QUOTE=Benf199105;23318123]Furthermore. The 'my fathers son' part obviously is himself as he is an only child. So rewrite the statement as. That mans father is me. So it's his son![/QUOTE] yeah exactly, like I said [QUOTE=lettuce_head;23318176]Ok stephen's father's son = stephen, right? that's easy isn't it. so in the riddle let's replace my (stephen's) father's son with stephen. This man's father, is stephen. Therefore it's stephen's son :science:[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Benf199105;23318187]Fucking 2.30am riddles. Fuck you all. In other news, i'm going to bed.[/QUOTE] It's 4.30 am here, and I am one of the first to be right :smug:
It's his son. "This man's father is my father's son" "Stephens father is Stephens father's son" WRONG "My son's farther is my father's son" RIGHT Simply by replacing "this man" and "my".

It's definitely his child, I think your instructor typed it wrong.

[B]I made an easy guide for those trying to work it out: [IMG]http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/7610/tmfimfs.jpg[/IMG] [/B] [editline]03:46AM[/editline] Shit, I was beaten to it. Oh well mine is colourfull and I prefer the layout. Looking for tools and bows people.
[QUOTE=jalb;23316290]Babble.[/QUOTE] -snip-
At first I thought it was his son. Then Facepunch said otherwise and I began to rethink my theory. And I discovered that the first page of this thread is retarded. [editline]10:53PM[/editline] [QUOTE=jalb;23319025]Took people a while to stop flaming me and actually use their brains for once.[/QUOTE] Well done OP, as far as I can tell you're the most intelligent (Or at least logical) person in that class. [editline]10:54PM[/editline] And you're more logical than your mom too.
It's himself :eng101:
Grandfather me thinks.
[QUOTE=Billiam;23319670]Well done OP, as far as I can tell you're the most intelligent (Or at least logical) person in that class.[/QUOTE] Maybe, but then again I wasn't the only person to have come up with "my son" as the answer.
My Father = Stephen's dad Stephen's father's son = Stephen Stephen = This man's father Therefore Stephen must be the father of whoever is in the picture.
'Tis my son.
[QUOTE=w0lfeh;23319715]It's himself :eng101:[/QUOTE] Response to this. [editline]11:00PM[/editline] Broke my automerge
So it is the Son right? My diagram makes sense (to a degree)?
:psyduck:
[QUOTE=cercerd;23319851]So it is the Son right? My diagram makes sense (to a degree)?[/QUOTE] It looks right. But then again I can hardly read anything you've written.

[QUOTE=w0lfeh;23319901]:confused:[/QUOTE] Reposted My Father = Stephen's dad Stephen's father's son = Stephen Stephen = This man's father Therefore Stephen must be the father of whoever is in the picture. [editline]11:08PM[/editline] The answer to the riddle is Google. [editline]11:10PM[/editline] And that your instructor is retarded, drop out of that class.
