Figuring out the age combinations took a while. Even after realizing, from clue #2 that at least 2 age sums had to be the same, I had to sleep on it for it to hit me. Even then, I missed the 1,1,36 combo. Good catch!
I imagine that dropping the 1 is a common flaw when doing the prime factorization. That is what makes this difficult.
