Inheritance Math
Posted by: JesterAn old math professor poses the following problem to one of his classes:
A wealthy man dies and leaves ten million dollars to his heirs.
- One-fifth is to go to his son.
- One-fifth is to go to his daughter.
- One-sixth to his brother.
- and the rest to his wife.
Now, what does each person get?
After a very long silence in the classroom, someone in back raises his hand and says, “A lawyer?”
