You are now a wise geometrician and, as such, you might be able to solve the problem that the donkey poses to you.
A male and a female donkey, loaded with bags of wheat, were heading towards the market. The female donkey was groaning because of the heavy load. Each of the bags weighted the same.
- What are you complaining about? – said the male – If you gave me one of your bags, I would have twice as many as you have; if I gave you one of mine, our load would be the same.
- Things being so, tell me, wise geometrician, how many bags of wheat do each of us carry? – said the female.
