A hungry bloke staggering through the desert finds two Bedouins, and asks if he can share bread with them. | |
The tall Bedouin has 5 loaves, the short Bedouin has 3 loaves of bread. | |
They welcome the visitor, and the three of them consume the 8 loaves of bread. | |
The stranger thanks the Bedouins for their hospitality, and leaves them with 8 gold coins. | |
The tall Bedouin takes 5 coins, leaving three. | |
But the short Bedouin says they both shared their bread, and therefore should split the 8 coins four and four. | |
Question: | |
Which if either of the two Bedouins is right? |
