The Problem:
An oppressive king in Romania asked his prophet
when he would die. The prophet was very wise
in many respects, but also concerned about his
own personal health and safety. What answer did
the prophet give to his King?
Answer:
The day you die will be the day after I die.
Today’s Problem
How far does one have to count to, before
using the letter “a” in spelling out the number?
For example, the number 1 is spelled “one”
which does not contain the letter “a”. The
number 2 is spelled two and also does not contain
the letter “a”.
