A rich old Arab has three sons. When he died, he willed his
17 camels to the sons, to be divided as follows:
First Son to get 1/2 of the camels Second Son to get 1/3rd
of the camels Third Son to get 1/9th of the camels.
The sons are sitting there trying to figure out how this can
possibly be done, when a very old wise man goes riding by.
They stop him and ask him to help them solve their problem.
Without hesitation he divides the camels properly and
continues riding on his way.
How did he do it?

Answer / guest
The old man temporarily added his camel to the 17, making a
total of 18 camels.
First son got 1/2 of it = 9
Second son got 1/3 of it = 6
Third son got 1/9 of it = 2
For a total of 17. He then takes his camel back and rides
away......
