Ok here it goes...
"Where are those valuable Indian-head pennies I left on the table this morning, James? I put them in a square array and now there are only 2 left. You didn't take them, did you?" "Well sir," replied the bulter, "shortly after you left, three burglars came in. They divided the pennies equally among themselves, but left these 2 because they couldn't divide them equally."
Is James telling the truth?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
