No. 1

                 A painter had to paint 100 houses, and he had to number them. He wondered how many sixes he was going to paint.

Note: Don't use paper or pencil. Your fingers are acceptable.

No. 2

                 A rich caravan owner willed 17 of his camels to his 3 sons. To the first son, he wanted to give 1/2; to the second, 1/3; to the third, 1/9. Find out how many each one will receive without cutting some camels.

                 A wise and clever camel owner had a brilliant solution which satisfied the old rich man as well as his sons.
