Answer / guest

2025

It is given that no inhabitants have exactly 2025 hairs.
Hence there are 2025 inhabitants with 0 to 2024 hairs in the
head.

Suppose there are more than 2025 inhabitants. But these will
violate the condition that "There are more inhabitants than
there are hairs on the head of any one inhabitants." As for
any number more than 2025, there will be same number of
inhabitants as the maximum number of hairs on the head of
any inhabitant.

Ali Baba had four sons, to whom he bequeathed his 39 camels, with the proviso that the legacy be divided in the following way : The oldest son was to receive one half the property, the next a quarter, the third an eighth and the youngest one tenth. The four brothers were at a loss as how to divide the inheritance among themselves without cutting up a camel, until a stranger appeared upon the scene. Dismounting from his camel, he asked if he might help, for he knew just what to do. The brothers gratefully accepted his offer. Adding his own camel to Ali Baba's 39, he divided the 40 as per the will. The oldest son received 20, the next 10, the third 5 and the youngest 4. One camel remained : this was his, which he mounted and rode away. Scratching their heads in amazement, they started calculating. The oldest thought : is not 20 greater than the half of 39? Someone must have received less than his proper share ! But each brother discovered that he had received more than his due. How is it possible?
