SOME FUNNY ODD PROBLEMS.
The following three questions I re
member reading In those d.is:
First Unix high abov the earth
should a person bo raised to see one
third of Its surface. (Answered by
demonstration only).
Second
In the midst of a meadow well stored
w I tit grass,
1 Jus took nn acre to tether my ass.
How long must the cord be, that, feed
ing all round.
Tic mayn't graze bss or more than nil
nrro of ground.
Thitd
One evening 1 chanced with a tinker
to sit,
Whose tongue ian a great deal to fast
for his wit.
He talked of his ait with abundance
of mettle,
So I asked him to make me n Hat bot
tomed kettle.
Let the top and the bottom diameters
be.
In Just such proportion as 5 Is to 3:
Twelve Inches the depth I proposed
and no more:
And to hold In ale gnllons seven less
than a score.
He promised to do it and straight
to work vxent.
Hut when he had done It he found It
too s( ant.
He altered It then, but too big ho
mnije i t r
Though It held eight, the diameters
failed It.
Thus making It often too big and
too little,
The tinker at last had quite spoilt d
his kettle,
Utlt declares he will btlng his said
promise to pass
Or else he w mid spoil excr ounce of
his brass
