I leave half of my cows to my first wife
I leve a quarter of my cows to my second wife
I leave an eight of my cows to my third wife.

No cow shall be killed to split the estate.

the wives are racking their brains. They decide to go and see the wise man of the village.

He finds a solution immediately...

What does he do?

How does he split the herd?

I agree... I just made new popsickles yesterday!!!

I would like to open a writing game, because I found many of the answers in the "deep, but not profound" thread brilliant, but I have not yet found an idea how to write together without the thread degenerating too much...

Have to figure out some rules that allow creativity, but hold the story together...

I’m sure you’ll come up with something great.
But if it’s a riddle please let us know it’s a riddle.
I had no clue that we were supposed to figure anything out there.

I knew the game from a different context... that's the kind of games you play in machanot...
But I admit that I could not figure out what was asked from the description... but when I saw the example it hit me that it was that.

What I loved is how they used the rule to communicate. I loved all those delightful paradoxes they found out, many were so funny (but not hilarious)

Father and son go on a biking trip. The father's bike has 27" wheels, the son's has 19" wheels.

Night falls. They each switch on the dynamos on their bikes to make light.

(remember dynamo: those thingies you would put against the wheel, so that it turns, to make a little bit of electricity to make light?)

Father and son go at exactly the same speed, next to each other. they both have the same dynamo and the same light.

Which light will shine brighter, the father's or the son's? (assuming that there is a direct correlation between brightness and the speed at which the dynamo turns)

Depends if you cut both challot at a seuda or if you save the second challa for the next seuda.

If cutting 2 challot at every seuda, but no lechem mishne for seuda shlishit, it would be 22...
assuming you do lechem mishne for seudat mafseket, but not for anbeissen...

Yes I cut 2. One large one mini. Ok I’m taking your word for it. So that means I still gotta bake at least twice.
