    A. 2 + 6 + 6 = 14 B. 3 + 3 + 8 = 14. In case 'A', there is no 'eldest child': two children are aged six (although one could be a few minutes or around 9 to 12 months older and they still both be 6). Therefore, when told that one child is the eldest, the census-taker concludes that the correct solution is 'B'. [3]
