The man on the wanted poster is the mans "SON" Explanation: if i am a man with no brothers or sisters, then, the only one who could be "my fathers son" is me. Therefore, the man on the posters "Father" IS ALSO ME. Czn't be anything else.

But I gave the same answer and you said I was close... :P I'm confused! Can't you just give the answer because I really don't see it any other way and it's kind of frustrating me. :D

Not even close? i'm not only "close" i'm right on the mark. this brainteaser has been around for years and if you do a search for,it, you will find that the answer IS HIS SON. if you say it isn't, i agree with "maclanis" why don't you put the answer hear and give your full explanation for it.

Is it his son? The son of the man replying the question.

Okay, so I've thought about it again, and it has to be the son of the guy who replies the question! I just can't see another way, since he has no brothers or sisters. I even made a small family tree and everything. :D

Hmmm.. I am thinking that the man on the poster is the man replying. But since you said nope, then I am clueless.
