Suzy Mouse's Game of the Week

[Suzy Mouse]

I'm sure it will take many of you less time to figure this out than it did for me to type it!!!


Grandfather thinks it is time to prepare his will. He has 3 daughters: Ann Beatrice, and Caroline. Each of his daughters has at least one child. The six grandchildren are: Frederic, Gregory, Henry, John, Laura, and Mary. Grandfather wishes each of his grandchildren to receive an equal share, but he can't remember how many children each of his daughters has.

However, he does remember that:

Beatrice has the biggest family.
Ann doesn't have a daughter.
Mary has two brothers.
Henry's brother is six months younger than Gregory.
Laura has neither brother nor sister.

How many children does each daughter have?

PM me your answers!

I've done the logic table 3 times on this, and I think something is missing.

PM on the way, Suzy. I was ready to not even try after I saw JC's first post, if he could not get it, then nobody could, LOL. Glad he saw the light and posted again.
