The Man and the picture
 

:smile: Now here's an old perennial one in this part of the world.
A Man looked at a picture on the wall and uttered
"Brothers and sisters, I have none,
But this man's father is
my father's son. :grin:
Whose picture was it ?

Are we talking about legal ownership here? Assuming the guy recieved it as a gift it would probably belong to himself. OTOH if he has only borrowed it from someone else then it makes you start to wonder: Who does the man know who could have provided him with such a picture?
Since he has no family and pictures from strangers probably wouldn't be interesting to look at, the answer must be [spoiler]a friends or maybe several friends'[/spoiler]

But then again: Perhaps the man does not even own the house in which we pretend the picture is... Perhaps it does not exist... Perhaps not even the man exists, but is only a part of a clever mathematicians creative mind. Considering that, my answer would be [spoiler]Xilmans[/spoiler]

Ha! Ha! you may be right Omboo. Who knows? :grin:

[spoiler]It's a picture of (one of) his son(s), but ownship of it is not necessarily known[/spoiler]
