Two MIT math grads bump into each other at Fairway on the upper west side. They haven't seen each other in over 20 years.
First grad says to the second: "How have you been?"
Second: "Great! I got married and I have three daughters now"
First: "Really? How old are they?"
Second: "Well, the product of their ages is 72, and the sum of their ages is the same as the number on that building over there.."
First: "Right, ok.. oh wait.. hmm, I still don't know"
Second: "Oh sorry, the oldest one just started to play the piano"
First: "wonderful! my oldest is the same age!"
Question: How old are the daughters
