A farmer is going to die soon. In his will, 11 cows will be given to his sons. 1/2 to the 1st, 1/4 to the 2nd, and 1/6 to the youngest. Then the sons had a problem, how can they split the horses without harming them, so that they may do their father's will. Then their wise neighbor had a solution. What is his solution? (this question has been answered correctly by almost a thousand 5th graders, dont act stupid)

what's the point of borrowing a cow so that the exercise works out, the brothers still need to divide up the existing cows - or was that horses?
