Three men in a cafe order a meal the total cost of which is $15. They each contribute $5. The waiter takes the money to the chef who recognizes the three as friends and asks the waiter to return $5 to the men.
The waiter is not only poor at mathematics but dishonest and instead of going to the trouble of splitting the $5 between the three he simply gives them $1 each and pockets the remaining $2 for himself.
Now, each of the men effectively paid $4, the total paid is therefore $12. Add the $2 in the waiters pocket and this comes to $14.....where has the other $1 gone from the original $15?

I thought the answer would be four, after all the grandfathers are sons of their own fathers (not present) and the two fathers are sons of their fathers (possibly the two grandfathers present but not necessarily).

It only seems wrong because you are looking at it the wrong way. There are two other ways of doing the calculation which give you the right answer.
A. They each paid $4, hence total $12. Of this $12, $10 went in the till and $2 to the waiter.
B. The original amount was $15, of this, $10 went in the till, $3 to the diners and $2 to the waiter.

When you say "they are identical" do you mean they LOOK identical? if so, it could be that they are say a year apart but born on the same day of the year.
wash2u: Besides cloning, they were born in different years.
If they were clones, would they technically be twins??
Wrong wrong wrong
