Answer to Riddle 63 - 17 Camels To Be Distributed Among Three Brothers

Yeah, it is a problem, but we can do it with some trick. What is the trick? That is what the friend of that dead man play. The sons were sitting perplexed as how to divide 17 camels, as they could not find the way, they started quarreling. Then they decided to take advice of one their father's friend, so they went to him. He said - "It is very easy. I have one camel. If you add this camel to your camels, you can divide them according to your father's direction."

And it was true. Now the three sons had 18 camels. The eldest son took 1/2 part - means 9 camels (remain 9 camels); the 2nd one took 1/3rd part - means 6 camels (remain 3 camels); and the youngest one took 1/9th part - means 2 camels (remains one camel). The remaining camel was the friend's camel, so it was given back to him. That is how 17 camels were distributed among 3 brothers.
