Since we've been putting a few brain teasers in the 'Brain Training on Nintendo DS' thread, I thought we should have a thread specific to Brain Training period. So here it is. If anyone has any brain stumpers, brain twisters, brain teasers, riddles, or whatever you call them, please post them here.
I'll start off with the first one:
A wealthy Arab man is dying, and is unsure as to how he would like to divide his fortune. He has two sons, but does not want to do the traditional 50/50 split. He calles his two sons into the room and tells them he wants them to race their camels to a distant city, and whoever's camel comes in last place, will inherit his fortune.
The brothers are completely lost. They don't know what to do. They wander aimlessly for days, and finally ask a wise man for advice.
After hearing the advice, the two brothers jump on the camels and race to the distant city as fast as they can.
What did the wise man tell them?

PM sent. I think I'm right, but maybe somebody else would like to search.

PM sent. I think I'm right, but maybe somebody else would like to search. Hi Pheldge, Yes, you provided the correct answer. Nice going! Also, nice touch to not ruin it for others (Like I did with MDB's Wolf, Sheep and Salad puzzle.... ) by sending the PM. Thanks. AC PS Devster is smarter than he looks, he knew the correct answer too. ;D PPS Is that more like it MP?

All these answers can be found easily if you google some of the keywords. That god/devil/poor/rich one is great. I knew I'd heard it before but had to look it up. You kick yourself when you know the answer.
