[QUOTE="blisters, post: 577482, member: 4992"] I'm not sure of the rules if someone doesn't get the answer so here's another: A father and son has an agreement that the son's share of each nugget they find is the square root of it's weight. They are working a bit of ground returning 84 grams per cubic metre averaging 12 nuggets. They had both drank too much beer the night before so not much work was done that day. At the end of the day they only had two nuggets. As agreed, the son received the square root of the weight of the first nugget, and the square root of the weight of the second nugget. The son found that his total share of the daily take was half the combined weight of the two nuggets. What was the combined weight of the two nuggets? [/QUOTE]
