Once, six children were in a round table. Master Brăwiid asked them: "How many of you are here?" | |||
While the others were still counting, one child replied: "Sixty-three: 6 individuals, 15 teams of 2, 20 teams of 3, 15 teams of 4, 6 teams of 5, and 1 team of 6." | |||
Now Master Brăwiid asked: "Well then, how many people will be there if another person enters?" | |||
The child said: "It is plain, Master: here we have all of the old teams, as well as another set of teams with the new person!" | |||
Master Brăwiid praised the child, saying, "This child has wisdom indeed." | |||
