He was known for his mathematical genius.<br /> <br /> Enjoy reading them:<br /> <br /> One Day a person came to Ali (RATA), thinking that since Ali thinks he is too smart, I'll ask him such a tough question that he won't be able to answer it and I'll have the chance to embarrass him in front<br /> of all the Arabs.<br /> <br /> He asked "Ali, tell me a number, that if we divide it by any number from 1-10 the answer will always come in the form of a whole number and not as a fraction." Ali Looked back at him and said, "Take the number of days in a year and multiply it with the number of days in a week and you will have your answer."<br /> <br /> The person got astonished but as he was a Mushrik he still didn't believe Ali (RATA). He calculated the answer Ali (AS) gave him. To his amazement he came across the following results:<br /> <br /> The number of Days in a Year = 360 (in Arabic Calendar)<br /> The Number of Days in a Week = 7<br /> The product of the two numbers = 2520<br /> Now ...<br /> 2520 / 1 = 2520<br /> 2520 / 2 = 1260<br /> 2520 / 3 = 840<br /> 2520 / 4 = 630<br /> 2520 / 5 = 504<br /> 2520 / 6 = 420<br /> 2520 / 7 = 360<br /> 2520 / 8 = 315<br /> 2520 / 9 = 280<br /> 2520 / 10= 252<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="http://www.rastanura.net/saudialbum/Images/camel_herd.jpg" src="http://www.rastanura.net/saudialbum/Images/camel_herd.jpg" /><br /></div><br /> A person was about to die, and before dying he wrote his Will which went as follows ...<br /> <br /> "I have 17 Camels, and I have three sons. Divide my Camels in such a way, that My eldest son gets half of them, the second one gets 1/3rd of the total and my youngest son gets 1/9th of the total number of Camels"<br /> After his death when the relatives read his will they got extremely perplexed and said to each other that how can we divide 17 camels like this.<br /> <br /> So after a long hard thought they decided that there was only one man in Arabia who could help them: "Ali Ibne Abi Taalib."<br /> <br /> So they all came to the door of Ali (RATA) and put forward their problem.<br /> Ali (RATA) said, "Ok. I will divide the camels as per the man's will."<br /> Ali (RATA) said, "I will lend one of my camels to the total which makes it 18 (17+1=18), now lets divide as per his will"<br /><br /> The Eldest gets 1/2 of 18 = 9<br /> The second one gets 1/3 of 18 = 6<br /> and The Youngest gets 1/9 of 18 = 2<br /> Now the total number of camels = 17<br /><br /> Then Ali (RATA) said, "Now I will take my Camel back"Thu, 12 Jun 2008 03:40:00 GMThttp://afzalaung.jeeran.com/archive/2008/6/592647.html#commentsThe Burmastani<afzalaung@gawab.com>AmusementIslam
