blackstrap Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 One more: This one comes from my great uncle many many years ago:Two horse traders hapened to meet on the trail one evening and camped together. After eating they were sitting around the camp fire talking. The first said to the other "you know if you give me one of your horses we will both have the same number of horses". The second thought for a minute then answered "that is true but I have a better idea. If you give me one of your horses I will have twice as many horses as you have". How many horses did each have?5 and 7

firepatch36 Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) Two Bedouins got into an argument over which one had the slower camel and agreed to a ten-dinar bet on whose camel would take longer getting to the next oasis. An hour later they were still sitting on their camels side-by-side in the desert, neither willing to move a step for fear of losing the bet.A wise man came by and asked them why they were sitting still on the camels in the hot sun. They got down and explained the problem. The wise man whispered two words to them. The men leaped on the camels and rode off for the oasis as fast as they could go.What were the two words?[edited: taken from this book] Edited August 7, 2011 by firepatch36
