There once was a choirmaster.
One day three people came in and asked to join the choir.
The choirmaster, who believes that there should be age for his choir's members, asks their
ages.
To that question, one of them replied: "We can't tell you our ages, but we can tell you the
following: the product of our ages is 2450, and the sum of our ages is twice your age."
The choirmaster is puzzled: "That's not enough information!"
Just then, the vicar walked in and said: "But I'm older than all of them"
The choirmaster, who knew the vicar's age, then exclaimed: "Ah! Now I know."
How old is the vicar?
