Amusements in Mathematics by Henry Ernest Dudeney (best free ebook reader for pc .txt) π
Excerpt from the book:
bleby law? I came out this morning with a certain amount of money in mypocket, and I find I have spent just half of it. In fact, if you willbelieve me, I take home just as many shillings as I had pounds, and halfas many pounds as I had shillings. It is monstrous!'" Can you sayexactly how much money Jorkins had spent on those presents?
11.--THE CYCLISTS' FEAST.
'Twas last Bank Holiday, so I've been told,Some cyclists rode abroad in glorious weather.Resting at noon within a tavern old,They all agreed to have a feast together."Put it all in one bill, mine host," they said,"For every man an equal share will pay."The bill was promptly on the table laid,And four pounds was the reckoning that day.But, sad to state, when they prepared to square,'Twas found that two had sneaked outside and fled.So, for two shillings more than his due shareEach honest man who had remained was bled.They settled later with those rogues, no doubt.
