- Solve this sum and the answer right
Divide a pound between Clifford and White
Let the square of Clifford's equal be
to the cube of White's legacy.From a rule of three feet long,
A shadow five is made.
What is the steeple's height in yards,
That is 90 feet in shade?In the midst of a meadow well covered with grass,
I took two acres to-tether my ass,
What length is the chain in the centre well bound,
To graze nothing more than two acres of ground?Roinn céad is ceathair leith-phinginn
Chomh éadhrom idir sé mBaca déag
Is tabhair an fuighleach dom-sa.
