The Proper Solution.
For the REPUBLICAN.

iOl tHS IEl UpLlCAN.
Wilmington, Del, August Goth, 1897.
l notice In your issue of yesterday that
MIR. II. Colburn, residing at Hockessin, u
subscriber OF your paper, sends what he
terms the answer to tho mathematical
question that appeared in the REPUBLICAN
OF Aug. 18th, 1877. ovor the signature of
LEX" Mr.. Colburn asserts that the son
who received the onefUurth part of the
estate would get $500. How Mr.. Colburn
can show his answer to be correct by any
process of calculation, cannot conceive,
and If Mr.. Cnlburn will read the question
over carefully, rs published in your paper
Aug. 18th, he will sec that the son who got
the one-tlfth part of tho estate received
StCO more than the one fifth part Of the on.
tire estate. Then how could it he possible
that the one who got tho one.fourth part
OF THO entire estate would only receive
$500, when the man who got the one-ilfth
part did get many times more than 5000?
The answer of Mr. Colburn as to the part
the third son would receive is precisely tho
onctifth part of what no did, under his
fathers will, receive as his share of his
fathers estate. The original question, in
short, was "A man willed his enuire
estate to his four sons. To A he gave tho
one half part of his entire estate, less $1,000.
10 u the one.third part Of his estate, less
5000, 10 c the onc-fourth part of his
estate, and to d the one'tifth part of his
estate, plus 5000. What was the whole
amount of the estate wilcd, and what
amount did each son reCcivc?'
Tho correct answer to this question has
been received from Mis- Mary Pennoc!s,
aged il years, of No 10 French street,
daughter of William II. pcnnock. vcteri-
nary surgeon, and Is hS follows:
=, :! plus u plus I Plus l5 equals 1850
Therefore the one.haf Of estate less 5000,
