A Riddle

First one to get it wins a cookie

30.05.2008

A polish backpacker gave me this one to solve...
Two men are talking, and one asks how old the other's sons are.
He says "The sum of their ages is the number of windows in this room. Do you know how old my sons are?"
The other man replies "no".
He then says "The eldest one is blonde"
The other man replies "now I know"

How old are his sons?

(I did eventually get this in the end. Don't look for tricks in the words, its quite simple once you've got it)
