A Chicken Dinner Division

Jack invited his illiterate cousin. Jack’s wife, cousin, two sons and two daughters were present at dinner. The whole roast chicken was served.

In an attempt to humiliate his cousin, Jack made his cousin divide the chicken among the family.

Cousin calculated something and began the distribution.

He gave Jack the chicken’s head because he was the head of the family, and his wife, its back. After all, she was supporting the family, his daughters’ wings because they were helping hands, and his sons’ feet because they were helping their father outside.

He kept the remainder since it was left.
