Two ladies are sitting in a street caf\'e, talking about their children. One lady says that she has three daughters. The product of the girls' ages equals 36 and the sum of their ages is the same as the number of the house across the street. The second lady replies that this information is not enough to figure out the age of each child. The first lady agrees and adds that her oldest daughter has beautiful blue eyes. The second lady then solves the puzzle. Please do the same.
