Here's a problem for you. G)
A certain king had two wise men: Ali ibn Wali and Wali ibn Ali. Wishing
To be convinced of their wisdom, the king called the wise men to himself and said: “I conceived 2
numbers. Both of them are integers, each greater than one. I multiplied these numbers and
I will tell Ali the result, and I will tell Vali the sum of these numbers. I'll also tell Ali,
that the number that Vali knows is no more than 60. If you are truly wise, what about you
They say you can tell me these numbers." The sages thought. First to break
Ali's silence: “I don’t know these numbers,” he said, lowering his head. "I am this
knew!" - Vali spoke up. “Then I know these numbers,” Ali rejoiced. "Then
and I know!" - Vali exclaimed. And the sages reported these numbers to the stricken king.
Define them too.
