Question: will

A person was about to die, and before dying he wrote his Will which went as follows ...
"I have 17 Camels, and I have three sons. Divide my Camels in such a way, that My eldest son gets half of them, the second one gets 1/3rd of the total and my youngest son gets 1/9th of the total number of Camels"
After his death when the relatives read his will they got extremely perplexed and said to each other that how can we divide 17 camels like this.


Do you?

I will lend one of my camels :cool: to the total which makes it 18 (17+1=18), now lets divide as per his will.

The Eldest gets 1/2 of 18 = 9
The second one gets 1/3 of 18 = 6
and The Youngest gets 1/9 of 18 = 2
Now the total number of camels = 17

Now I will take my Camel back. :p
 
There is an silent annex to the will -- that 1/18 of his camels be given to charity (1/2 + 1/3 + 1/9 = 17/18).

So the person who adds the extra camel does not get it back but has to give it away to charity ;)

Question: Investigation

A couple that owned a mansion came home from church to find that their safe had been robbed. They gathered all of their hired services for questioning. The cook was questioned first and she said that she was busy preparing the Sunday dinner. Next was the butler but he said that he was setting the table for the Sunday dinner. Then they questioned the maid and her excuse was that she had been cleaning the dining room along with the butler. So they moved on and asked the groundskeeper and he stated that after finishing the pruning he went out to get the mail. The couple, stumped by the reasonable alibis soon found that they had the answer.


Who was it?

Tuesday. Thursday and Friday the market is closed. Saturday the doctor's office is closed. It is evident he cashed his check because he had more money in the evening than he did when he left in the morning. He got paid on Thursday and went to town on the following Tuesday when the bank, doctor's office, and market were all open.
