    They have many things in common. I'll just shoot for the obvious answer. Neither one was raised by wolves. Is that the one you were looking for?

    Oh yea, Rajagra is correct. Brothers and sisters I have none. This man's father being my father's son means that this man's father must be me. Therefore, this man is my son.

    Correct. On both counts I expect. I was going to give hints if needed.

    Brothers and sisters I have none

    this could mean he has none living.but that he may have had some at one time. in which case it could be his nephew. Believe me this kind of question wins me a lot of bar bets.

    I believe all information required should be provided in the riddle itself. Of course there are often infinite possibilities such as the horse untying the rope or the boat being a submarine or neither square having been raised by wolves but there is only one plausible liklihood. In the case of the subject riddle, "Brothers and sisters I have none." this means I have no siblings alive dead or long lost because they were sold to gypsies during that downturn in Dad's gambling career. That being so,"This man's father is my father's son." As my father had only one son and it happens to be me, "this man" must be my son, before the little wierdo got his sex change.
