Preliminary problem for stimulating
An Arabian Sheikh had 3 sons and 17 camels. In his will he
left camels to his oldest son, 1/3 to his middle son, and
1/9 to his youngest son. When their father died, the young
men were troubled by what they should do. They couldnt see
how to carry out their fathers will without killing the camels
and cutting them up. A stranger came along with 1 camel. He
offered to solve their problem. He put his own camel with
the other 17, then told the oldest son to take 9 camels (1/2
of 18); the middle son to take 6 camels (1/3 of 18) and the
youngest son to take 2 camels (1/9 of 18). The visitor then
claimed his own camel and went on his way. Why did the
trick work???
