Two fathers and two sons go fishing together in the same boat. They all catch a fish but the total catch for the day is three fish. How is this possible?
So the grandfather is a daughter? Otherwise there would be 2 fathers and 3 sons if we are just counting how many fathers and sons there are. You can’t just not count one.
so it says and two fathers so there are actually three its trying to trick you there are two sons because the youngest is the son of the father and then the father is the son of the grandfather of the youngest and the the grandfather is a father and so is the father of the youngest so 2 fathers which are the grandfather of the youngest and the father of the youngest and the two sons the youngest is a son and the father of the youngest is the son of the grandfather of the youngest try to make since out of that its hard to explain.
Oooo yeah!!! The same question came in my book and from 2 hours I an not getting it. But it came like (TWO SONS AND TWO FATHERS GO TO THE CINEMA TO WATCH A FILM.THEY ALL SEE THE SAME FILM AT THE SAME TIME,BUT THEY ONLY HAVE TO BUY THREE TICKETS.WHAT IS THE EXPLANATION?).I thought the fathers re twin brothers hah!.
There could be an absurd answer. ie.One of the fish took two bait. Hence, two line landed a single fish. It happened during one of my fishing trip many years ago.
I have to support Mattybo. If there are 3 male fishermen then there are three sons too unless one of the men hasn’t been born to a mother. It’s not stated that the fathers of the two sons are actually in the boat too.
I HAVE ONE THAT SAYS ( Two sons and two fathers go to the cinema together to watch the same film , They all see the same movie in the same time but they only need to buy 3 tickets What is the explentation ) DAMN BOOK PLEASE ANSWER PLEEAAASEEE
answer could be two as well. Two fathers on the boat are required that’s all, since all fathers are sons, but not all sons are father. So even 2 will do

Theres only 2 men.. reason behind if their were 3 men the riddle would read 3 sons and 2 fathers went fishing. There was a fish left over.

A father and 2 sons. There are one father but shared by 2 sons, if you get what I mean.

The question tries exploit the strict definition of a father or son
BUT
All males are technically sons, as they are all born.
Therefore it could simply be that 2 fathers (of children who aren’t there) and one other man (all 3 of them are sons) are on a fishing trip.
