Weekly Problem 33 - 2008
Quince, quance, quonce
(1) $7$ quince weigh the same as $4$ quonce, so a quince weighs
less than a quonce.
(2) $5$ quonce weigh the same as $6$ quance, so a quance weighs
less than a quonce.
So quonce is the heaviest. But $20$ quonce weigh the same as $35$
quince (from (1) multiplied by $5$), and $20$ quonce weigh the same
as $24$ quance (from (2) multiplied by $4$), so $35$ quince weigh
the same as $24$ quance, so a quance weighs more than a
quince.
