MM> Right !

MM> Apart from the last bit - what new problem did he leave them with?

He added his camel and there was 18 camels. He told them '9', '3' and '2'. Ahh...
Well, where 1/4.5 should have been left? Common?
Did he took the two as a payment? :)

I'd try... darn, I can't help not reading. :-\ I should cross the "a
