A man dies and leaves a fortune to his two sons. However, only one will receive the inheritance. The two brothers must compete in a race across the Sahara. The brother whose camel crosses the finish line LAST would receive the inheritance. The brothers began the race, moving their camels as slowly as possible. After a few days of slow racing they came across an old wiseman and stopped and had dinner with him. They told the wiseman their problem. The wiseman gave them a suggestion, where upon the brothers jumped onto the camels and raced as fast as they could to the finish line. What did the wiseman tell them?

I think they probably swapped camels then raced to the finish bcaus the other didn't want the others camel to finish last.

The Old Smartguy told them to share the inheritance and in the meantime shag-*** out of that hostile Sahara Desert .
I suppose that's too simplistic.

The last son would also have to marry his mother.
