How to have an iguana
I'm reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude" at the moment. There's a riddle of sorts that's driving me crazy:"....he heard some old man tell the tale of the man who had married his aunt, who was also his cousin, and whose son ended up being his own grandfather."
At 3am I was still up, trying to draw a diagram of this incestuous family, to no avail. I've figured out that the man's grandfather impregnated his own daughter, which is why her offspring is both aunt and cousin. But beyond that...help!
