Who can find the trick? A math problem is still mind-boggling There were three men who owned 17 camels by inheritance in varying proportions, and the first owned half of them. The second is a third of it. And the third is nine. According to the proportions, the distribution is as follows: The first owns half (17÷2) = 8.5 The second owns a third (17÷3) = 5.67 The third owns the nine (17÷9) = 1.89 They did not find a way to divide these camels among themselves, without slaughtering any of them or selling part of them before the division. It was only from them that they went to the Commander of the Faithful to take his advice and solve their dilemma. The Imam said to them: May I add a camel from my beauty to the herd?? They agreed after a great surprise Each of them took his due The Imam took back his sentence (the eighteenth) What is more surprising is that each of them took more than he would have taken according to the first division: The first will take 9 camels instead of 8.5 camels. The second will take 6 camels instead of 5.67 camels. The third will take 2 sentences instead of 1.89 sentences!!! The issue here is not only mathematics, but rather the ability of great leaders to solve problems and ward off strife. As you can see, everyone was a winner and the imam did not lose anything.​
