@Sphinx So this got closed as a dupe (I was unaware and answered before the close), but my answer is different because the rules are subtly different (re: tie-breaks). How different does a logic puzzle have to be to not be a dupe?

The sum of the ages of a father, his son, and his two grandsons is 181. The father´s age has a common divisor greater than 1 with the ages of each of his three descendents, but not two of the latter have ages with a common divisor greater than 1.

@Sphinx Does this count as a math textbook style problem? I already VTCed for being unclear, but after reading over the content I strongly believe this question is more math than puzzle and should instead be closed as off-topic
