I'll try...

Only the grandmother and daughter are there. Since the daughter exists, the grandmother must also be a mother, so that takes care of all 3.

Some more riddles!

1) I have no beginning. I have no end. I have no middle. What am I?
2) What are the next 2 numbers in this sequence?
0,1,8,11,69,88,101, ... , ...

Lastly, a story problem...

Fred commited a heinous crime in the kingdom of Kilimal. Before his execution, however, Fred was summoned to the throne room of the King. When he arrived there, Fred fell to his knees and begged for mercy. The King responded, "Woah there! I really am not a bad person, and, being of sound and conscious mind, I cannot execute a man unless he has a chance to save himself." The King clapped twice, and 2 men came into the throne room. One was holding 2 big bowls, the other a bag. The King explains to Fred:

"You see before you 2 bowls and a bag. The contents of the bag are 100 balls; 50 white, 50 black. At the end of this explanation, you are to divide the balls however you like amongst the bowls, but each bowl must contain at least one ball. After you have accomplished this, you will be blind-folded, asked to leave the room, then come back in after the bowls have been shuffled. On my command, you are to clearly shout either "left!" or "right!", your response being the bowl from which you will choose your ball. If you choose white, you are free to go. But if you choose black, or an empty bowl, may God have mercy on your soul. You have my word as an honorable ruler that this will not be rigged or cheated upon in anyway. Now begin!"

The question: How do you divide the balls to give yourself the best chance of leaving Kilimal with your head intact?
