C órdoba, in 966 AD E chool of C Alifa
The teacher proposes to his young disciples the following problem:
A thief, a basket of oranges,
stole market, and
escaped from the orchards,
to jump a fence,
half lost more than half;
chased by a dog, half
least half left;
stumbled on a string, half
scattered over half ;
in his den, two dozen saved.
You who seek wisdom,
tell us: how many oranges
stole the thief? 195
oranges
