Yeah, problem doesn't specify whether you want your family to live. Common mistake.

That's like the old joke of the CIA loyalty test.

A CIA recruit reached the final stages, at the last step he found his mother tied to a chair and gagged. His prospective boss hands him a gun and says "To prove you are ready for this job and will follow any orders, You'll need to kill your mother, I'll be outside.

10 seconds after leaving the recruiter hears the bang of a gun... followed by other bangs, clangs of metal.

Prospective recruit walks out the door.. "The god damn gun you gave me had blanks in it, so I had to beat her to death with the chair"
