There are 9 people in the mustard family: 6 daughters, 1 son, and Mr. and Mrs. Mustard themselves.
- The given riddle states that Mr. and Mrs. Mustard have 6 daughters and each daughter has exactly one brother.
- Normally, people would mistake it for each daughter has one brother so 6 daughters hence 6 brothers. However, this is wrong. The correct solution is six daughters having one brother which is common to all.
- Hence, if one daughter has a brother then that brother is also the brother of another daughter as these are Mr. and Mrs. Mustard's daughters.
By this calculation, 6 daughters + 1 son + Mr. Mustard + Mrs. Mustard = 9 members.
