There are 2 mathematicians in two rooms... one, lets call him Marc, has been told the sum of two numbers and the other,lets call him Max, has been told the product of these two numbers. These two numbers are such that they are distinct (and not same) and are greater than 2 but less than 100.

Now, both come out of their respective rooms and stand in front of each other.

Marc asks Max : " Max, do you know the two numbers?"
Max replies to Marc : "No, I don't know the two numbers!"
Marc says to all : "Now, I know the two numbers!! :) "

Guess... what were the two numbers :confused: ? And how did Marc come to know them? :eek:

Have fun with the puzzle... :D

//lets make this a puzzle thread ... until its blown by some other idea :D :D :D Wassay guys?
