An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel comes in second will receive all the inheritance. Since neither brother wants to come in first, they wander the desert aimlessly for days. Finally they come across a wise man and ask for his advice. After hearing the advice, both brothers jump on the camels and race as fast as they can to the city. What does the wise man say?

Desired response: The key is to listen carefully to the question. The BEST answer is “Exchange camels with your brother.” Now the brother who enters the city first wins the inheritance because his original camel will come in second.

This is not math; this is logic.

You can figure this out if you break it down and look at in reverse.

I have faith that you can do this with a bit of thought. Think in reverse. It is simple.

Hint: it matters not who wins it is how they try to wn that is the answer.
