THE DAUGHTERS COULD HAVE MARRIED MEN CALLED BROWN. A REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE, BUT HIGHLY UNLIKELY.
Women do not always take a mans last name.
WOW.. i really like this riddle because i didn't get it .. that means im NOT a sexist pig
Yes this teaser is sexist and should be removed from the site.
Woman do not neccessarily change surnames after marriage.

But alll of the brothers are Browns.
Yes the brothers are Browns, but since each daughter has 2 brothers, there are a total of 2 brothers, so the Browns are Mr. & Mrs. Brown and their 2 sons- 4 Browns!
This teaser is NOT sexist. Come off it. These partiular women per the teaser maker DID change their name when they married. Some women don't, yes that's true. But more often than not, they DO change. This teaser does not say it's required to change names. With logic teasers there is always an exception. No need to get touchy and politically correct because you might have not gotten the right answer.
Wow people were making comments like this in the early 2000's. Man I thought 2016 was the magical year of insanity
