the relief truck arrived at the village to distribute much needed food. The small village had a population of exaclty 100 people. The truck contained 100 lovaes of bread, and the food was about to be distributed evenly when the village chieftain suddenly stopped proceedings. "the elders of the village have decided that each child will recieve half a loaf of bread, each woman two loaves of bread and each mand three," bellowed the chieftain/ " But we may not have enough bread in those proportions," argued a relief worker. :You have 100 loaves?' asked the chieftain. "yes" replied the worker. "then thats exactly enough" How many men, women, and children lived in the village?
