A dilemma in mathematics that is still mind-boggling attributed to Imam Ali bin Abi Talib, may God honor him, and God is higher

Question

Measurement of the calculated way of solving the problem

Answer 1

Add one, half of 18 is 9, one third is 6, one nineth is 2. 2 + 6 ÷ 9 = 17. Problem solved?

Answer 2

Baby camels?

Hi, this is the Q&A section. Maybe you would rather post this riddle in your news feed?

Answer 3

The fractions
1/2 + 1/3 + 1/9
have a common denominator of 18.
The equivalent fractions are
9/18 + 6/18 + 2/18.
Their sum is only 17/18, which means 1/18 of ownership is unaccounted. Whoever wrote the will is very poor at math!

Anyway, the answer is in the numerators of the equivalent fractions. It's only a math problem, and not a programming problem.
