Question

Which are more numerous, eldest children or youngest children?

Answer 1

neither.  middle children

Answer 2

Same amount of each

Answer 3

I am youngest I have 3 kids 6,2,1

Answer 4

The same number since in order for there to be a child that qualifies as eldest there has to also be one that is youngest and so forth.

Answer 5

In order for a child to be an elder, he must have a younger. The younger must have an elder, and so forth.  Both the elder and the younger need not have a middle child for this to be correct, but it would help.

If the elder were twins, triplets, etc, then obviously that would mean there are more elder children. But, alternately, if the younger were twins, triplets, etc, the same would prove true.

If the middle ones were twins, triplets, etc, that would be irrelevant and useless information.

The square root of elder children is subversively equal to the sine qua non of the subaquatic nature of all lesser children in the attic.  When all children sit down for breakfast, they must all eat equal amounts of bacon, eggs, sausage, and toaste for the equalization formula to begin.

Are you the mother or father of the brood?
