It is not 2 and 2, Product guy would know his number immediately since 2 and 2 are the only valid factors for 4. ((2,2),(4,1)) and "1" is not a valid choice.


[quote=Loki;40073]the answer is 2 and 2.

why? let me explain.
The product is 2X2=4 and that would make the sum 2+2=4
There is nothing in this word problem that says each number has to be individual and clearly the sum and product of these equate to the same answer. Therefore, the person with the sum and the person of the product would end up with the same answers. Look at how it is written and you'll see that 2 and 2 is the answer.
