#135:Cats of Harbin
The cat herders of Harbin have a long tradition of animal husbandry. But every year, they suffercertain amount of natural wastageas cats stray from the fold. Over the centuries, these mathematically gifted herdershave calculated the minimum size for a profitable herd.
SEE IF YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT FORM THIS TRADITIONAL HERDERS SONG:
In Harbin the cats I declare,
They numbered one third of a square,
If a quarter then strayed'
Still a cube will have stayed.
How many, at least, must be there?
(O, how many, at least,
must be there?)
