brazz, my riddle has already been answered.

As for your riddle, the answer is 2,2,9 for the 3 sons and 13 for the other guys son.

3 numbers, when multiplied give 36 and what adding them gives:
1 1 36 =38
2 1 18 =21
3 1 12 =16
4 1 9 =14
6 1 6 =13
2 2 9 = 13
3 2 6 = 12

"I have only one son, I know his age, but this is not enough yet to tell the ages of your sons. "
> Therefore, the sum must occur twice:
6 1 6 =13
2 2 9 = 13

"The older one is attending piano lessons."
> There has to be only ONE older son.
