A.One of them lied
B.They were fishing separately
C.It's not possible
D.There was the father, his son, and his son's son. This equals 2 fathers and 2 sons for a total of 3!
Hint: It's a 19-word phrase with 71 letters, starting with "T".

Answer

There was the father, his son, and his son's son. This equals 2 fathers and 2 sons for a total of 3!

Why this is the answer

Three generations — grandfather, father, and son — mean the middle person is both a father and a son, so there are 2 fathers and 2 sons among just 3 people.
