When the riddle is asked most people are thrown off by '' that man '' when this person could easily be 1 year old or 70 years old. In this case you have no brothers or sisters, but that man's father ( meaning you ) is also my father's son ( which is also you ). The only person '' that man '' can be is your own son.

He's talking about HIMSELF.

The "person" has no siblings...

But, if the "person" is "...my father's son," then the ONLY answer, definatively, is himself (proper sentence structure?)...

Anyways, the answer is: Himself.

Yes, he is referring to himself as being both his '' father's son '' and also the father of ''that man '' who is also his father's son, although he doesn't say that directly. He is, for sure, only talkng about his own son.

This one should be easy.

I drink 6 cups of decaf coffee every morning. My coffee maker only brews 4 cups at a time. I only make 1 pot of coffee a day. So how am I drinking 6 cups when the coffee maker on makes 4 cups.
