The New Puzzle has been getting much too much critisism.
The text states all that is needed to determine the unique
solution - what more can one require from a puzzle?

I'm sorry, but I can't believe that anyone capable of solving
the puzzle would get bogged down on whether the oldest children
in the family were twins.  Besides, since the census taker
solved the puzzle one must assume that he could unambiguously
identify the oldest child.
