Brain TwizzIers By Prot ,. D, Flint

There is legend about an an- eient Greek philosopher and n problem of hines. The number nine was thought to possess magic powers in da.s gone by and this problem was proposed by the philosopher after he had been constantly har- assed by fellow townsman who claimed nine as his lucky number. The philosopher showed how three nine could be made equal to eleven by placing two of them, forming 99, over the third to get the fraction which equalled eleven. He then sug- gested that the fellow townsman arrange three hines to equal 20. The use of simple arithmetic signs or de- vices was permitted. Can you do 1t?
