Here is an Ancient Roman task that they gave to one another inorder to excercise their mental faculty.

   A widow was under an obligation behind her late husband's inheritance of 3500 Italian lira, to divide with a child that must be born. If it will be a son, according to  Roman laws, the mother would get half of that son's stake. If a daughter, the mother would recieve double the stake of that daughter. But it happened so, that twins – son and daughter were delivered.

How can you properly divide this money (inheritance) so that the above requirements are met with?
