O problema matemático de Héracles
Heracles the mighty was questioning Augeas, seeking to learn the number of his herds, and Augeas replied “About the streams of Alpheius, my friend, are the half of them; the eighth part pasture around the hill of Cronos, the twelfth part far away by the precinct of Taraxippus; the twentieth part feed in holy Elis, and I left the thirtieth part in Arcadia; but here you see the remaining fifty herds.”
Fica a questão, para quem quiser pensar nisto, ou apenas tentar resolver um problema matemático de Héracles, provindo ainda de tempos da Antiguidade...
