A guy is owner of a certain number of sheeps for god's sakes and also the father of three sons who for some reason are expert logicians like Cpians So here comes the question Clever as you are will think to yourself, now all this guy needs is to believe he's about to die so that he can make a will to divide the sheeps among the sons, right? Right, Except He calls them together (the sons, not the sheeps) and tells them how many sheeps (not sons) he owns AND Adds that 1. The eldest will inherit the most sheeps 2. The youngest the least 3. Nobody having more than 10 sheeps, which as we all know is a crime. 4. He then whispers in each son's ear how many sheeps he personally will inherit. After that he proceeds from the eldest to the youngest, asking each ALOUD if he can calculate how many sheeps each of his brothers will inherit and each replies, "NO". He does it again and again each replies, "No" But then the eldest son on being asked the question once more says, "Yes, each of the last two 'noes' (that's the plural of 'no') gave me some information, and I now know (no plural of 'knows') how many sheeps each of us will inherit." What's the bet you're already wondering how may sheeps each son will get?
QUESTION IS HOW MANY SHEEPS EACH ONE WILL GETeasy ????? are you ready to take the challenge ? ha ha ha can you hear me laughing * OK try this easy one Can you tell me the only common word in english literature which has U , F, and A somewhere in the word in the same sequence HINT FOR THE FIRST QUESTIONQuartz... wrote:

This ONLY says that the sons cannot have more than 10 sheeps nothing else * NO POINTS WITHOUT EXPLAINATION Omit Needless Words - Strunk, William, Jr.
