Question 1080689: After Mr. Klopstock's death, it was found out that his state consisted of seventeen horses. His will provided that his friend Mr. Thom should be his executor. The terms of the will were these:
1. One of the horses should go to the widow;
2. One third to the elser son; and
3. One ninth of the horses to the younger son.
Mr. Thom was in great trouble. It was evident that drawing up his will, Mr. Klopstock had miscalculated. It would be impossible for any of the persons to receive a fraction of a horse. Yet, Mr. Thom solved the problem. How was it done?
