Is it - What?

Surely Jones is his surname?

Have you worded this right?

It's usually: Jack's father has five sons. His first sons name is alpha. Second is beta. Third is Joseph. Fourth is Aaron. What is the name of his fifth son?

The answer being Jack.

What is his fifth son - no question asked? As in the old "who's on first" routine?

I think you've got it, Wolfy.

Yea wolf63 is correct.
The name of the fifth son is, "what".
Note the original statement - there is no question mark after the last sentence - it's merely a statement telling us that, "what" is the name of his fifth son.

I had to read it many times before I got it.

I think I will stick to my sudokus in future.
