EDIT: hm, it looks better on the preview than the actual forum screen.
Anyway, start at the bottom left. Go up, past the top. Draw a diagonal line down and to the right. Turn left at the bottom. At the corner you started on, turn and draw a diagonal line up and to the right...hopefully you get the full idea from the drawing...

When you post it doesn't preserve the spacing. I think pre ... /pre is supposed to keep it, but it does funny stuff.

The guy was a prisoner, and the prisoners were fed albatross, or so they thought. When the person tasted real albatross and saw that the tastes were different, he realized that he wasn't fed albatross - it was the flesh of another prisoner.

May I inquire why?Turner_727 said:Yes, that's it!
You may.
I don't have the answer in front of me, but from what I remember Mr Smith wanted a son to have twice as much as his wife, and his wife twice as much as a daughter. Now, as to why he'd do it that way, I don't know.

Well basicly it was actually that he had been shipwrecked once and fed his crewmates but he had been blind so he didn't know.Japanrocks12 said:

Well that's still only meeting partial requirements. I mean isn't it a little bit odd that the addition of a daughter means the wife gets more than just a son? You'd think both the son and wife should give the daughter part of thier share.Turner_727 said:You may.

That's the answer I have. If you disagree with it, I'm not really the person to complain to....
But it makes sense to me. A son gets twice as much as a mother. A daughter gets half of what the mother gets.
Look at it this way. The husband wants the wife to be taken care of. He assumes that a son will need more money to survie than a daughter, because a daughter would most likely have a husband to marry and be able to rely on him for support. The son doesn't necessarily have that option. Sexist? Yeah. But it's a riddle....and way too much thought is being put into it....
