When I was a lad, I remember the older generation deriding what we were being taught as the "new math." Like math could somehow change from one generation to the next. But obviously it did.

I think it is a bit of both. and now for the next nut:
(Chrome crashed when I was loading yesterday's nut, so here are two) |
#17 started with 15 cents.
|
That's what I get also.
|
For #18, >> you have to rent a sheep to get twenty; the first guy gets 10, second 5, third 4, then return the rental sheep.
|
#18Get one of the sheep knocked up?
With the ram, ya pervert |
#18
1/2 plus 1/4 plus 1/5 does not equal 1, it equals .95. So 19 is the actual number he left them, not the number he started with. The total number he had was (.95)(x) = 19, so x=20. |

Nothing in this nut says that 1/2 and 1/4 and 1/5 is the complete list of what was "to get". Nothing says that the "one" who gets is a different heir. I can imagine that the same "one gets" 1/2, and 1/4, and 1/5 (of the sheep??) so this heir gets 19 sheep. Still leaves 1/20th of 19 sheep unallocated. Grrrrrrr... Maybe these "fractions" aren't talking about fractions of the flock of sheep. What about one heir getting half the sheep, another heir getting a quarter (a twenty five cent piece or a $2.50 coin, take your pick) and another gets a jug of shine (a fifth). ... ... What am I gonna do about the other "half of nineteen sheep" (ha fucking ha)?? Quote:
