After the funeral and other religious obligations were finished, the three sons read the will. Their dad had divided all the property he had into three equal parts. According to the will, the father had divided the 17 camels in an unexpected way.

According to the will, the oldest son got a large portion of the camels, which presently tallied to 18/2 = 9 camels! The oldest one got 9 camels as his share. The rest of the camels were 9.

The wise man asked the second child to read the will. He was doled out 1/3 of the aggregate camels.

Totally 17 (9 + 6 + 2) camels were distributed between the sons. There remained one camel which was owned by the wise man, which was taken by the wise man. Thus the wise man tackled this astutely with his knowledge and intelligence.
