The White - haired Daoist Zhen Yang revealed a happy expression and said, "That's great! As expected, scholar Xia was a straightforward person! There are a few questions that have been bothering me. The first question is ..."
At this point, old Daoist Zhen Yang shook his head and said,"Today, there are 35 battlerabbits in the same cage. There are 94 legs below. May I ask where each of the battlerabbits is?"
Xia ruofei had a strange expression on his face. He couldn't tell! This thick - browed and big - eyed old Daoist Zhen Yang was actually a math enthusiast! No matter how genteel his question was, it couldn't change the fact that it was a mathematics question! Wasn't this the original version of the chicken and rabbit problem?
If the words of Daoist Zhen Yang were to be translated into the modern Language, it would be: A chicken and a rabbit were locked in the same cage. There were 35 heads on the top and 94 legs on the bottom. How many chickens and rabbits were there?
