Transcript of Alex Tobias 8B
The King’s SoldiersAlex Tobias
Gather 'round and I'll recountthe riddle of a battle
Hark my words and listen closeshould you be easily baffled
T'was a dreary day, and the kinghath sent his squadron forth
to combat the intruderswhom he spied approaching north
Fearful of the enemythe king fortified his men
By multiplying his original squadby the difference of 5 and 10
Though their numbers larger nowTheir foe had stronger men
Throughout the day the king’s army divided by half of the square of ten
New reinforcements were sent inThe men multiplied by the square of 3
And to top it all off, the kingAdded another 50.
'Tis not important if they lost or wonbut my question to you, my friend,
is how many did the original squad haveif it was the same as their army in the end?
