salam Elshafie,
Unless I am missing something, the answer is 81.
لك الثلثان من قلبي وثلثا ثلثه الباقي
وثلثا ثلث ما يبقى وثلث الثلث للساقي
وتبقى أسهم سته تقسم بين عشاقي
a-two third of his heart 2/3
b-two third of the left third:
left third=1/3
thus two third of the left third: 2/9
-------------------------------
until now 2/3+2/9=8/9
-------------------------------
c-two third of third of what is left
what is left =1/9
thus two third of third of what is left is
2/3*1/3*1/9=2/81
d- Third of the third
since he said 'THE' third, I will assume that he is talking about the last third
thus
1/3*1/3*1/9=1/81
-------------------------------
until now 2/3+2/9+2/81+1/81=75/81
-------------------------------
the left is 6/81 which makes sense
I don't now what is wrong with this approach. If there is, please tell me.
thanx
