Question 1154860
.
Raj has a party length submarine sand which of 59 inches. He want to cut into three pieces 
so that the large piece is 5 inches longer than the middle piece and the shortest piece 
is 9 inches shorter than the middle piece. How long should each piece of sandwich be?

As I read this problem several times, I thought "Why I can not get the meaning of this text ?"


Finally, I guessed the reason: the words "sand" and "which" are not two separate words - 
- they are, actually, ONE WORD "sandwich".


After that, everything fell into place.
