None answer above are correct. Children are children, the mother =/= child. Father, mother, grandmother, etc... not count, just the 5 children.

It depends, how heavy is the package? If its light just get a homing pigeon to deliver the message, thats what they did back in the day.

It means that if they cant open it, they cant steal it, right? So send her a box with a coding key. Then let her know the password to open the box through internet.

And i wonder why u wrote in capital "Very Valuable Ring"? Is it a real object or just words?

And boyfriend can only have girlfriend, not "wife".

A family has 5 childrens. Half of them are girls. How is it possible?

because one of them went thru a sex change operation so they are really a male with a clitoris or vice versa.

or one of the children was naturally born a hermpahrodite with both sex organs :shock:

or one of the kids has XXY gene or XYY gene or XXYY gene so their gender is ambiguous

or one of the boys had penile infection so they chop his penis off? :?

one of the above has to be correct

Well, this basically means there are 5 kids, and the others are the adults, meaning the couple might be at an old age, so one of their daughter/son is over 18, not being a "kid"

I don't think so, since in the text it clearly says that they have 5 childrens, so you can't get 10 of them
