In the pub of a quiet little village, the bartender and the local school teacher had the following conversation. The bartender said: "Pastor Petersen was visited by three women today. Can you work out how old they are, if you know that the product of their ages is 2450, and that together they are as old as you are?" After a deep consideration, the teacher said: "No, I can't." Then the bartender said: "Of course you can't, but if I tell you that the oldest woman is older than pastor Petersen, you should be able to work it out." The teacher did. Can you find out how old is pastor Petersen?
