In his will he left 35 = tuning hammers to three boys who were studying with him. In his will he = said that Robert was to receive half of the tuning hammers; Richard was = to receive 1/3 of the tuning hammers, and Roger was to receive 1/9 of = the tuning hammers The 3 boys had a big problem: how to cut the tuning hammers in pieces in = order to fulfill the terms of the will. Let's see: 35/2=3D 17.5 ; 35/3=3D 11.66667 ; 35/9=3D3.8888 Just then two tuners dropped in to visit them: Bob, an old RPT, and Job = a tuner who had his tuning kit and all his tools with him. Bob tried to help the boys and said to Job, "Job, please, give me your = tuning hammer."Job said, "What for? What you want to do with it?". Bob = said, "Give it to me and I will solve the boy's problem". Job gave the tuning hammer to Bob, and Bob added it to the other 35, so = now there were 36 tuning hammers. Bob gave half of them to Robert. Very good! Robert was happy because he = got 18 of them, instead of 17.5. Then Bob gave 12 tuning hammers to Richard, who liked that better than = receiving 11.66667. Bob gave 4 tuning hammers to Roger, who decided that four was more than = 3.888. Let's see: 18 + 12 + 4 =3D 34 Bob gave Job back his tuning hammer, and still had one to keep for = himself!
