I'd add my own camel for free and then give them 18/2 = 9 18/3 = 6 18/9 = 2 Giving them all exactly what they're due and leaving my camel for me to ride away on before they decide they've been had.:laugh:
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

A long time ago, a wise man in the Islamic country "basically the cousin of prophet Mohammad" had a problem dealing with three men fighting over a fortune that they ware all sharing it in different percentages..
They were 17 camels.
The first man's share in those camels was half of the whole fortune.
The second's share is one third.
The thirds was one ninth.What would you do if you were middled in this?? ps. The answer will be posted in one hour starting from now. pss. POTD should stand for Puzzle Of The Day.

I would get a butcher, and divide the camels up into steaks.

That's right - Profits don't always make things better, but they sure help..:-D

No, but I'm curious now. Have you? I'm guessing people eat them, like they do horses.

Why not shoot one of the men, then give the other 2 time to run away. That way, you get all 18 camels. :wtf::wtf::wtf:

-- Neil PeartWe picked up 20 kilos of Camel meat for a barbeque 60 miles south of Kuwait, at a place called Logistical Base Bastogne. The meat was somewhat tough, but that was mostly because we insisted that the meat be fresh. (No refrigeration in the town) We cooked the **** out of it and that probably made it tougher. It tasted a lot like beef, and the cuts had some gristle as well. Properly seasoned and prepared, (Lots of Bar-B-Que Sauce, etc) Camel is pretty tasty. MRE's can't compare. When visiting foreign lands in the back of a Blackhawk, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco is a must. Det cord and Parachute cord come in handy as well. smiles...

Ah, nice, a first hand account of camel tasting. Thanks, man. That gets me thinking, though. The company I work for is sending over care packages to Iraq/Afghanistan, do you think Worcestershire and Tabasco, or other spices might be a good addition? [edit] I guess I equated going with Kuwait with being in the military. might not be true. [/edit]
