A sheik announced that a race would decide which of his two sons would inherit all his wealth. The sons were to ride their camels to a certain distant city. The son whose camel reached the city last would be given all the sheik's wealth.

The two sons set out on the journey. After severals days of aimless wandering, they met and agreed to seek the advice of a wiseman. After listening to the wiseman's advice, the two sons rode the camels as quickly as possible to the designated city.

They did not agree to split the wealth, and their father's decree was to be followed.

What advice did the wiseman give the sheik's sons?

Rather have a life with a brother whilst being poor than wandering around for the rest of their lives hoping the other would die?

Imagine that I toss two coins. If at least one of them comes up heads, I show it to you. What is the probability that the other one is also a head?

Answer: Switch carmels and race like wind.

Of course, they could both dismount outside the city, give the carmels a slap on the rump and see which would enter last.

How could the 22nd and 24th U.S. Presidents have the same parents, but weren’t brothers?

It's actually 1/3 chance that the other coin is a head. The problem is just a different (and confusing) way of asking what the probability is of getting two heads when at least one of the tosses is a head. There are three possible outcomes (not including TT of course since it's stipulated that one of the tosses is a head):

H H

H T

T H

So there's a 1/3 chance of both coins landing head.

When it's a negative 11 Look at how much I help imago prove he is not stupid and he won't even work out small easy puzzle I left him

That's not correct.

Imago take a shot!

littlemissG said:

Two ways.

When 11 is a negative integer and 2 is a positive integer.

Or, you 2 and 11 are integers on opposite sides of zero (one is negative and the other positive), and you use the absolute value of the difference.

There is a third way, however, which is butthole.

there's no deck

A coin is tossed several times and the ratio of heads to tails is 24 : 26.
what proportion of the tosses are tails?

its a fraction
