Betty was sitting in the reception area at a Milwaukee pediatrician's
office when in walked her long-lost friend, Mary, with her three
children.  Betty asked the ages of Mary's children and  her old friend
replied, "The product of their ages is 72."   Betty said, "I need more
information than that." so the mother said, "The sum of their ages is
equal to my airline ticket number."  Betty looked at the ticket number
and said, "I need more information than that."  The mother said,
"Ok.....let's see.  Oh, I know...the oldest one likes Blue Moon ice
cream from Wisconsin !" and then Betty said, "Oh!  I now know their
ages!"
See if you can figure this out:

What are their ages and how did you arrive at the answer? :-)
