InheritanceTrick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
After her death, a mother left her sons her entire £5000 fortune.
The elder son received £3000.
The rest was shared equally between whoever remained.
How much did they each get?
AnswerThere is just one other son who takes the remaining £2000.
The word elder means there are two. If there were more than two it would have been eldest.
