  1. The entire riddle is:

    Brothers and Sisters, I have none...

    But this man's father is my fathers son.

    This rules out Brother.

    "This man" is the son of the asker.

    Grandfather (my father)

    Asker (this man's father)

    Son (this man)

    If you look at it then say the riddle again, you can work it out.


  2. Could be you, your brother, half brother, or adopted brother.

  3. Your forgetting part of the riddle. A man looks in the mirror and says brothers and sister I have none but this man's father is my fathers son. Without the first part of the riddle we have no reference for who the man is. The usual answer is the man himself.

  4. himself.

    if his daughter marries the man's father which makes his father his son-in-law and his daughter his mother at the same time.

    then again i may be just confused

  5. Either you or your brother.  Take your pick.

  6. If you include the whole riddle . . . "A man looking in the mirror says, "This man's father is my father's son."

    That would be the man himself or YOU.

  7. Me (I think this is right)

  8. it's either ur brother or urself...:)

  9. nephew

  10. It's YOU!

  11. Your nephew.

  12. your brother

  13. Your cross-dressing nephew from Cleveland, who entered the Witness Protection Program after testifying against a ring of overcharging dry-cleaners.

  14. Your brother.

  15. either is that man or his brother

  16. This man's FATHER, is my Father's son ..

    Therefore he must be one generation DOWN from the asker.

    My father's son could be me, or my brother. The man I am looking at is the son of one of those. Therefore the man we are looking at must be my son, or my brother's son.

    Son or Nephew. Can't possibly be himself.

  17. It's either your son or your nephew (if we use the first part which says "brothers and sisters I have none..." then it is your son.)

  18. With that version of the riddle it has to be your son or brothers son (nephew)
