I agree that the mistress should get the extra.

If you are referring to the specific puzzles/cases in which a man dies and leaves behind a wife, a daughter (case a, or daughters case b) and his parents; and according to the Quran stipulates what is the share of whom as follows:

a)
Wife is 1/8 = 3/24
Daughter 1/2 = 12/24
Father 1/6 = 4/24
Mother 1/6 = 4/24
Total = 23/24

b)
Wife is 1/8 = 3/24
Daughters 2/3 = 16/24 (divide 2/3 share among daughters equally.)
Father 1/6 = 4/24
Mother 1/6 = 4/24
Total = 27/24

27/24? Seriously?

27/24? Seriously?

I think the Goldsmith will have a problem with this one

Hi again,

Actually, these types of equations need to be normalization (either statistically or quantitatively) first in order to achieve precise shares

Hidden Text: Show

Code: Select all

a) … with only one daughter case:
1   1   1   1   23
- + - + - + - = --
8   2   6   6   24

Multiply both the sides by 24 and divide by 23:

1   24   1   24   1   24   1   24   23   24
- x -- + - x -- + - x -- + - x -- = -- x --
8   23   2   23   6   23   6   23   24   23

 3   12    4    4
-- + -- + -- + -- = 1
23   23   23   23

b) … with two or more daughters (divide two-third of the heirship share in to each daughter equally):
1   2   1   1   27
- + - + - + - = --
8   3   6   6   24

Multiply both the sides by 24 and divide by 27:

1   24   2   24   1   24   1   24   27   24
- x -- + - x -- + - x -- + - x -- = -- x --
8   27   3   27   6   27   6   27   24   27

 3   16    4    4
-- + -- + -- + -- = 1
27   27   27   27

Now the above equations show normalized shares. Multiply whatever the actual value of heirship in to both the sides of normalized equation, one will get each share precisely.

Is that then the solution to the tricky puzzle "Normaization"?

(1/2 + 1/3 + 1/9) * 18/17 = 17/18 * 18/17

9/17 + 6/17 + 2/17 = 17/17

The normalization is the method/process to calculate these type of puzzles.

(1/2 + 1/3 + 1/9) * 18/17 = 17/18 * 18/17

9/17 + 6/17 + 2/17 = 1

So, your above mentioned equation is shown as the op tricky puzzle's normalization form (i.e., right hand side of the equation must be equals to 1). it's now needs to multiply both the sides by the quantity/amount of heritage in order to achieve the results precisely.

Say chaps, it has been 5 days, and you still haven't given any thought to the poor man's funeral or sorted out how its costs should be divided.
