Nov 16 at 20:19 comment added psmears @kagami: Indeed. I have triplets. They are the same age, but nonetheless one of them is the eldest...

Further clarification to allow for a unique solution.
Nov 16 at 0:32 comment added Bernardo Recamán Santos So, considering all the above, I think I better restore original puzzle where I only asked for Nazari's age. Thanks to all!
Nov 15 at 23:35 comment added kagami I'm not sure the new phrasing helps. Seems like there are valid combinations at sums of 67 and 73. At 67, it could be (10, 12, 12, 15, 18) with two others ruled out by non-unique eldest, and 73 has (10, 15, 15, 15, 18) with the (10, 12, 15, 18, 18) combo ruled out.

Nov 15 at 20:07 comment added Laska I don’t think as of right now you can identify the ages of more than 3 of the girls
Nov 15 at 18:59 comment added Bernardo Recamán Santos I have tried to settle this issue.

Nov 15 at 18:21 comment added kagami It seems that "the eldest plays violin" is intended as a way of indicating that the oldest child has a unique age in years. I don't think it succeeds at doing that without applying somewhat erroneous puzzling meta-knowledge. I think the intent is to be somewhat clever or indirect about that, but I'm not sure this wording achieves such an aim

Nov 15 at 16:35 comment added Bernardo Recamán Santos No lateral thinking involved!
Nov 15 at 16:06 comment added ConnieMnemonic If the violin thing is a clue, does this question need the lateral-thinking tag?
