<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


One-third of 60 is 20.  20 people have their money tied up, leaving 40.  2/5 of 40  is 16 who say no, leaving 40 minus 16 equals 24.  Half of 24 is 12, leaving 12 who might loan him money.

For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.</i></b>



John
