[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 984157, member: 325666"] ..and again .. the orange seller and the toll bridges .. A young girl returning from market after selling oranges ....wanted to get home quickly so decided to use the toll bridges instead of going the long way round. When she reached the first bridge she decided to try and barter passage ..saying to the man in charge. I will give you half the oranges left in my sack ..plus half an orange if you let me pass .. The bridge operative agreed to this ..and she went on her way ...until she reached the next bridge where she repeated her offer ... The second operative agreed ...and allowed her to continue home .. One more toll bridge stood in her way ...so she made the offer again and it was accepted ....which emptied her sack ...but hastened her journey home ... How many oranges did she have left in her sack after her day at the market ..when she reached the first bridge. ? [/QUOTE]
