A man is waiting in a bus station and overhears another two men'conversation. They must have met after a long time, because they are talking about theirs families.

"I'm an engineer in a big factory and I make good money. Didn't I tell you I'm marrying this month and cause I've got no best man I'll ask you to be," said the first.

"O.K.! I'll be there. I'll bring my family.You know I got married a long time ago and I've got three sons. Let see if you can find theirs ages."

After a while the first man askes: "Give me a clou!"

"Let see! The least one wears a nice pair of red shorts."

"Be serious!"

"O.K. Theirs ages added make the exact noumber of the levels of the building behind you and the product of their ages is 36. Now let see you at work, Mr. Perfect!"

That all that the man heared,but the bus arrived and he had to go unless he'll wait another five hours. However,he was very courious and he tried to find the childrens'ages,but he couldn't.

Can you help him? There is only one solution.
