Maths Extension

Today, it was the year 6's turn to learn about Pythagorus's Theorem.

The year 7 and 8s got a riddle made by Mr Ellwood.
The riddle was....
"How old are your three sons?"
"The product of their age is 72 and the add to your sons age,"
"That is still not enough information,"
"My oldest son plays soccer,"
"Now I get it!"

All of us found it very difficult but in the end a few of us got the answer.
If you know the answer please comment!
