The three princes of Serendip
Went on a little trip.
They could not carry too much weight
More than 300 made them hesitate.
They planned to the ounce, when they returned to Ceylon
They discovered that their supplies were just about gone.
When, what to their joy, Prince William found
A pile of coconuts on the ground.
Each will bring 65 coins, said Prince Richard with a grin
As he almost tripped over a lions skin.
Look put! cried Prince Robert with glee
As he spied some more lion skins under a tree.
These are worth even more 300 coins each
If we can just carry them all down the beach.
Each skin weighed fifteen pounds and each coconut five,
But they carried them all and made it alive.
The boat back to the island was very small
15 cubic feet baggage capacity that was all.
Each lion skin took up one cubic foot
While eight coconuts the same space took.
With everything stowed they headed to sea
And on the way calculated what their new wealth might be.
Eureka! cried Prince Robert, Our worth is so great
That there's no other way we could return in this state.
Any other skins or nut that we might have brought
Would now have us poorer. Prince Williams joy buoyant
Dr. Jagani asked what their total wealth was.
His students at ISU solved it in a toss.
