The Family Puzzle

[Dether1234]

You have a family of five: a mother, father, daughter, son, and grandfather. The mother, daughter, and son all say they are older than the grandfather, but the father says he is younger than his own daughter.

Question: Who is the oldest in the family?

 

[D E L P H I]

The grandfather is the oldest. The other family members’ statements are meant to mislead; in reality, the grandfather must be the oldest.
