DAY 207

A man and his wife were expecting a baby, and the man wanted to give "the boy" 2/3 of his estate, and leave 1/3 to his wife. But in case "the boy" turned out to be "the girl," then 2/3 of his estate would go to his wife, and 1/3 to his daughter. As it turned out, they had twins---one boy and one girl. In keeping with his original plans, how should Dad settle his estate between his wife and two children?

HINT:
He wanted to give the mother twice as much as the daughter, and the son twice as much as the mother.

Answer:

1/7 to the daughter, 2/7 to his wife, and 4/7 to his son.
