270.0. "Sum and product" by RANI::LEICHTERJ () Mon Apr 29 1985 23:21

A really nice puzzle:  Given 2 <= m <= n <= 99 integers.  P knows mn; S knows
m+n.  We overhear the following conversation:

	P:  I don't know m and n.
	S:  I knew you didn't know them, and I don't know them either.
	P:  Now I know m and n.
	S:  Well, now, so do I.

What are m and n?
