Steven Wright and Mitch Hedberg are the two people I think of first when I think of really great one-liner comedians of my own era. I also put Dimitri Martin in there as a good combo one-liner/prop comic.
I'm sure there are other one-liner comics out there, but I don't follow comedy like I used to.

Re: [Logic Puzzle] How old is Mom?
I didn't realize that could be confusing. My apologies. I was trying to rephrase it from an older version involving a priest and cantor and three parishioners. There are five people in this puzzle: 3 members of "Cory's family", the mother, and the son. I will rephrase the original problem ...

Re: [Logic Puzzle] How old is Mom?
This is a type of logic puzzle I've only recently come to appreciate. It involves a hypothetical problem solver (the son) and then you have to use not only the information provided to the subject of the story, but then also use their assumed knowledge and process to figure out what they already know...

[Logic Puzzle] How old is Mom?
Heather and her son Marcus have just finished cleaning up after a holiday dinner. Marcus says, "I've never met your cousin Cory before. How old is everyone in her family?" Heather says, "Cory, Dave and Ashley? What if I told you the product of their ages is 2450? Would that help?"...
