A man on his deathbed informs his three sons that he will leave them his horses. To the eldest son he leaves half of his horses. To his second son he leaves one third of them, and to his youngest, he leaves one ninth. After he passes away, the three sons went to get their horses, but discovered there were 17 animals. They did not want to sell or kill any of the horses, an they could not think of a way to divide the horses exactly as their father wished. Just then their next door neighbor came riding along on his horse and listened to their problem. Immediately the neighbor thought of a way to divide the horses just as their father had wished.
What was his easy solution?
The Answer Please
The neighbor added his horse to the sons' horses, which brought the total to 18. Then the oldest son took half, which is 9, the second son took 6, which is one third, and the youngest took 2, which is one ninth- the total being 17. The neighbor then rode off on the same horse he arrived with.

Random Joke
It seems God noticed Adam was despondent. So the Lord God said, "Adam, come over here and sit down!". And Adam did so.
"Adam," spoke the Creator, "I see your countenance is fallen and you seem to feel rotten and lonely."
Adam said nothing in response.
"So," continued the Lord, "I am going to create an alternate person who will be with you!"
Adam just looked puzzled but interested.
"This person," said the Lord, "will take all the raw and tasteless food that you are currently ruining and will prepare wonderful, spicy, and tasty dishes."
Adam looked grateful.
"This person, "said the Lord, "will be beautiful to behold and graceful and interesting to watch as she walks."
Adam looked thoughtful.
"This person, "emphasized the Lord,"will be able to satisfy all those dreams that you currently are having!"
Adam really looked relieved.
"And, lastly," said the Lord, "She will obey your every whim and desire and order with cheerfulness."
Adam was really impressed and finally spoke.
"O.K., Lord, but what is this going to cost me?"
"An arm and a leg," said the Almighty.
"Well," Adam then said, "What can I get for a rib?" |
