Worse Than Ann.
A London dispatch in the New
York Times says :
If puzzles are getting scarce in
New York possibly some of the
expert guessers would like, a try at
the following: “Three boys go
gathering apples. They arrive
home late at night with a bagful
and, after agreeing to divide it
• qually, go to bed. During the
night one of them wakes up, and,
feeling hungry, goes to the bag,
divides the apples into three equal
portions, and finds there is one over,
which he throws away. He eats
his own and goes back to bed
Liter on the second bov hlso wakes
up, and goes through, a similar
procedure, as also does the third
afterwards, bodi of them like the
first throwing awav an odd apple,
la the morning the three boys di
vide the remainder of the apples
equally, and again find one over,
winch they throw awav. How
many apples were’here originally?”
