They need to redistribute what they were going to eat. Then the doorbell rings again....</p> <p>It doesn't get into the fractions like you guys did, but was instructive done the less.</p> <p>Another author for some fun math books is Mitsumasa Anno. I was especially intrigued by &quot;Anno's Hat Tricks&quot;. We also liked the book &quot;The King's Chessboard&quot; by David Birch. I think there are other versions of this story, but that is the one we have.</p> <p>You can have a lot of fun with math!</p>
