Two grandfathers sat discussing their families on a bench under an\nolive tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow old is your granddaughter Rachel, Moishe?\u201d asked Benny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, I\u2019m twelve times older than Rachel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow about some more info, Moishe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, her mother, Sarah, is six times older. And her mother\u2019s age\ndivided by two gives a remainder of one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAny other details you can offer?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSarah\u2019s age divided by three, four and eight also give a remainder of\none, but five none,\u201d added Moishe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThanks, Moishe, that\u2019ll do the trick.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd how old is your granddaughter, Miriam, Benny?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTwice Rachel\u2019s age plus eight months.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
