I'm afraid not, Bernie! Look at it this way: The man looking at the picture has no brothers or sisters, so he's an only son; therefore "my father's son" must be "me". "This man's father, is my father's son"; in other words......."This man's father, is me"; hence, he must be looking at a picture of his own son! That's how I see it, anyway! 
Jack.

Think of a number-------
Double it,
Add ten,
Divide by 2,
Subtract from number you first thought of,
Your answer will be 5.
Bob, sorry to say this but you are wrong...!!!
Philip is correct, the way you have worded it means you will always get -5 as the answer!
eg, take 10, double it = 20, add ten = 30, divide by 2 = 15, subtract from the number you first thought of means subtract 15 from 10 = -5
However, if you had said " subtract the number you first thought of" then yes the answer is 5
