make fish tacos and get two of both types each *NM* random thoughts Send a noteboard - 18/06/2011 04:05:28 AM
A story problem, if you will:

Lene has enough minced meat to make (J)Ole four tacos (she's having something else, but that's not important since she's merely a woman ). As she finishes dinner preparation, her brother arrives with three fish he recently caught and, learning of the tacos, asks the couple to share them, but there isn't enough beef for two people. How can this situation be resolved to the satisfaction of both the fisherman and the taco eater?
