A man looking at a photo says
"brothers and sisters have I none, but that man's father is my fathers son".
Who is in the photo.
An oldie but always gets an argument.

It has to be the man's son.

Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I'm double, I'm single,
I'm black, blue, and gray,
I'm read from both ends,
And the same either way.
What am I:confused:

Work the original question backwards.... (bloody hijackers.:rolleyes: )
Who is your father's son?
You, 'cos you don't have any brothers.
So 'this man's father' is you.
So 'this man' is a photo of your son.
Doesn't apply to Tikki. :D

work it as you are looking into a mirror
brothers and sisters, I have none............(it's you)
but that mans father........(your image)......is my fathers son..you again
so it's you:)

My dads name is Ken and my grandfathers name is Joe.
Ken is looking at a pic of me.
So dad says to no one in particular "That mans father is my fathers son", which translates to, Dans old man is Joes son, which he is. :)
If Dad was looking at a pic of himself he would be saying Joe (that mans father), is Joes son (my fathers son), which he can't be.:(

work it as you are looking into a mirror...
But you aren't, you are looking at a photo. :cool:
brothers and sisters, I have none............(it's you)..
Yeap.
but that mans father........(your image)
No, if you are looking in a mirror, that man would be you, but...
it says, that man's father, so you would be referring to your father. ;)
......is my fathers son..you again
Yes, my father's son is you 'cos you don't have a brother BUT... see my last comment... your logic goes wrong if it is a mirror & it isn't, it is a photo.
......so it's you:) is it? :D
Instead of a mirror, hold a photo of your son.
Now.... that man's(your son) father(you) is my father's son(you).
The man in the photo is your son.
You are his father, not the man in the photo.
You are your father's son, not the man in the photo.
It is very logical. :D
