An inheritance problem |
2007-03-23 |
|
From Carl:
A father of 3 boys, who owns 17 horses dies. He leaves his first son
1/2 of the horses. The sons hate each other. The father leaves the
second son 1/3 of the horses. They are ready to kill each other. He
leaves his youngest son 1/6 of the horses.
Without cutting the horses into pieces how do they split the horses?
I heard this puzzle when I was 12 years old.
1968
The preacher rides up on his horse and said "If I give you my horse will
you quit fighting ? They agree to stop fighting?" Why?
