At a family get-together, there is a father, a mother, a brother, a sister, a son, a daughter, a niece, a nephew, an uncle, an aunt, and two cousins. They all have a common ancestor. However, there are only four people present: Seymour, Samantha, Simon, and Sandra.
How is this possible?

No one in the family is married. There are four people- I don't know, shawn, sheen, sandra, sarah or something. You make a family tree. Each person has 3 traits. It is not a very hard problem
There has to be 1 mother without her husband with a son or daughter the brother of the mother without his wife with a son or daughter. like stella said, no one's married
Actually, Daniel Gray said:
The Mother and Father are brother and sister. While one has a girl which would be the niece to the other and one has a boy which would be the nephew to the other one. While one kid would have an aunt the other would have an uncle, and the two kids are the two cousins.
there must be a mother and a father from 2 different families and they are the brother and sister. and the father has a daughter who is the mothers niece to the mother and the mother has a boy who is the nephew to the father. the mother and father are also the aunt and uncle to the niece and nephew and the nice and nephew are cousins to each other
you can do it either way with the mother and father
i took the clues that stella gave and i just used logic to figure it out
daniel, why did you post the answer?
That's great! everyone got it!!!
that was kinda fun to do.
