Your two biological sisters could have been adopted by another family (two dads), and you could be one of five adopted children of a gay couple!
lol, i didn't even try to figure this out. i'm no good at these family tree type things with divorces and second cousing marriages and that sort of stuff.
The incorrect assumption that most people will make is that all 3 dads and 4 sisters are living together under one roof. Get past this and the puzzle makes sense.
Too convoluted. There are just too many possible permutations. For instance, why could the older sister not being living at home? Considering the given answer, she could have put her son up for adoption. Still 7 people. Or the real father could be living at home, while the mother ran off.
Confusing. But that's the object I guess.
