    Mr. Jones had 4 daughters.

    Each daughter had a brother. How many children does Mr. Jones have?
    Hint:
    Zero. If read to grammatical perfection, the riddle uses the word 'had' in a pas-tense format which means he no longer has children.

    Therefore all of the daughters and brothers could be from a prior marriage, affair etc. Although, again, the riddle doesn't not specify that the brothers are 'step brothers.'
