suppose you were speaking to the third child not knowing that he was the third child. What would you ask him in order to find out? without asking a logic question i.e the 'yes' 'no' type or having the word 'third' in your question.

Question: Who was born after the second child in the family?
Answer: I was.

hope theres no loop hole in that ::)

Question: After how many children in your family were you born?

Then how does he get the "he" mixed up in his question?

Question: Speaking as if you were me talking to someone else about you, tell me which child you were.
