چارلی کی سالگرہ	Cheryl first says that she is the oldest of three siblings, and that their ages multiplied makes 144. 144 can be decomposed to factors of prime numbers by the fundamental theorem of arithmetic (144 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3), and all possible ages for Cheryl and her two brothers examined (for example, 16, 9, 1, or 8, 6, 3, and so on). The sums of the ages can then be computed. On examining all the possible ages, it turns out there are two sets of possible ages that produce the same sum: 9, 4, 4 and 8, 6, 3, which sum to 17, and 12, 4, 3 and 9, 8, 2, which sum to 19. Cheryl mentions that her brothers are the same age, which eliminates the last three possibilities and leaves only 9, 4, 4, i.e. Cheryl is 9 years old and her brothers are 4 years old, and the bus the three of them are on has the number 17. All other possibilities give a unique sum that would have allowed Bernard and Albert to deduce Cheryl's age once Cheryl gave the second clue (that the sum of the ages is the bus number they are on).
