HOW AND WHY OF :
CHICK AND A HALF
Bay Is th lttUe problem offered mat
Sunday by a Journal contributor:
A poultry dealer sold to A ft of hw
atock of chicken and gav th pur
chaser on half a chicken. To B. he
gold an halt of what remained and also
gave him on naif a chicken. T C, he
gold on half of what he had left and
likewise gav him on half a chicken,
which disposed of all the dealer atock.
Bow many had be at first T C. S.
Th maker of the problem offer two
gaetboda for Its solution, aa follows:
'j Mental solution Xf th dealer had
only a chicken remaining after Bell
ing H of what he had left on leaving B,
he must hav sold to C. a chicken or
had on chicken after leaving B; and 1H
ohickcas after calling to B Mb his stock;
or I chickens before selling to B, or Ife
chicken after selling to , but before
giving him half a ahtckea. But h sold
to A. H of bis original stock, leaving
' chlckaaa; so his original number must
have been seven.

The JournalI submit th following so
lution to the chicken problem la yester
day's issue of Th Journal: Th dealer,
after selling half his stock of chickens
remaining to C, gav him half a chicken,
which was all h had left. Then th
half chicken given away represents the
remaining half of his atock. If - H
chicken equals half of hu stock, on
ohlokea equals th whole of the stock
before selling to C Tnen adding the

t chickens equal whole of his atock be
fore selling to B. Than adding th half
chicken given to A we hav i chick
