There are three friends - Ram, Shyam and Gopal. Ram and Shyam wish to know how old Gopal is, and their conversation is as follows:-
Gopal : I have two younger brothers. The product of all our ages (i.e. my age and the ages of my two brothers) is 144, assuming that we use whole numbers for our ages.
Ram : We still don't know your age. What other hints can you give us?
Gopal : The sum of all our ages is the flat number of the flat that I live in.
Shyam : Of course we know your flat number, but we still don't know your age.
Gopal : Oh, I forgot to tell you that my brothers have the same age.
Ram and Shyam : Oh, now we know your age. So, what is Gopal's flat number?
This problem is a part of Tessellate S.T.E.M.S (2019)
