A Puiile That Mn Oivo a Lelinre Mind Something to Think Or. have found the following interest iug problem in an old notebook, write Sir Walter Besant. I have no recollec tion at all of its origin. Perhaps every body knows it. Perhaps everybody does not Those who do not will find it, I think, unless they bring algebra to bear upon it, rather a tough nut to crack. Here it is. Once there were three nig gerstheir wickedness is a negligible quantity; it does not enter into the croblem who roDDea au uauaiu, ried away the appies in them up in a barn ior tne nigui. wiu went to bed. One of them woke np be n Hnvrii. nnd. being distrustful of his friends, thought he would mate snre of his share at once. He therefore went to the barn, divided the apples in to three equal heaps there was one over, which he threw away and car ried off his share. Another nigger then woke up with the 6ame uneasiness and the same resolution, ne, too, uiviucu the apples into three heaps there was one over, which ij imov. " j his share, and carried it on. Ana men the third nigger woke up with the same emotions. He, too, divided the remain ing apples into three portions there was one over, which he threw away took his share and departed. In the morning every one preserveu silence over his doings of the night; they divided the apples which were left into three heaps one was over, which they threw away and so toon eacn nis share.
