Blood Relations — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard method for blood relation questions?
Draw a family tree as you read — squares for males, circles for females, vertical lines for generations. Solving in your head fails exactly when the question is worth solving.
What is the most common trap in these questions?
Assuming gender. "Child of", "sibling of" and names do not reveal gender — if the final relationship depends on an unknown gender, the answer is "cannot be determined".
