My friends,--I have spare blankets, and I shall need no more; The tenth man can have my bed, and I’ll sleep on the floor. In room marked A two men were placed; the third was lodged in B; The fourth to C was then assigned, the fifth retired to D; In E the sixth he tucked away, in F the seventh man, The eighth and ninth in G and H, and then to A he ran (Wherein the host, as I have said, had laid two travellers by); Then taking one--the tenth and last--he lodged him safe in I: Nine spare rooms--a room for each--were made to serve for ten. And this it is that puzzles me and many wiser men. (34) £78 7s. 0·42d. (35) 275625 leaves. (36) [Illustration: _Fig 1_] (37) 24000 men. (38) 4032 lines. (39) 28·9 miles. (40) £26 7s. 7d.

(53) The versed sine of the segment of Will’s cake which was given to Jack was 3·05 inches, and its area 26·0058364375 square inches: hence Will’s share was 704·6125135625 square inches, and Jack’s share 704·5914364375 square inches; so that Will’s four were about 52·03275 square inches more than Jack’s six, and Will, of course, lost the wager. After the decision of the gauger, Will’s share was ·0210771245 (1-50th nearly) of a square inch more than Jack’s. (54) 8·46851 seconds velocity, 129·38 ft. per second. (55) 144 minutes.
