Ответ:

Answer 2

This is a classic riddle! The answer is that there are only three people in total, not four, despite the reference to two fathers and two sons.

Let's break it down:

1. Grandfather (1st father)
2. Father (2nd father) - This person is both a father and a son.
3. Son (3rd generation, 2nd son) - This person is both a son and a grandson.

So, there are three individuals: the grandfather, the father (who is also a son), and the son (who is also a grandson). Since they each find the same number of eggs, you simply add up their individual counts:

Total number of eggs found = Grandfather's eggs + Father's eggs + Son's eggs.

Even though the riddle mentions "two fathers" and "two sons," it refers to the same two people (father and son) in different ways due to the generation gap. Therefore, there are three people finding eggs, not four.
