A sheik announced that a race would decide which of his two sons
would inherit all his wealth. The sons were to ride their camels
to a certain distant city. The son whose camel reached the city
last would be given all the sheik's wealth.
The two sons set out on the journey. After several days of
aimless wandering, they met and agreed to seek the advice of
a wise man. After listening to the wise man's advice, the two sons
rode the camels as quickly as possible to the designated city.
What was it that the wise man told the two sons? They did not
agree to split the wealth, and their father's decree would
be followed.

He told them to switch camels.
Ahah, that's a good answer Anonymous. Makes sense to me anyway! :)
great idea :)
quite possible that the father talked only abt "camels"..so the sons killed their camel and ran to grab the kingdom???
They had to have switched camels.
But whats the actual answer is???
the answer which makes sense is
"the wise man told them to switch camels"
since the city is a distant land... you should rush to the city and claim to be the other son
then you go on vacation and have plastic surgery till word reaches your father again
after you blow all ur cash... go home and claim ur wealth
haha
camels are going to die any moment and hence you wont be able to reach the destination
he must have told them to reach the city at the same time. a tie
that the sheik is broke and in debt?
Cool and sensible answer , 'Switched their camels' -Anonymous
I never thought of that haha
=)
There was a city called 'last'.
He told them to switch camels. I've seen this before, it's definitely correct. That way, the fastest person's camel comes in last and they win.
hah
I thought that the wise man got the idea that their camels are already switched by the father...
