One morning when Rasool just came out of the house carrying a basketful of eggs on his head, a car going at full speed brushed against him and knocked down his basket destroying all the eggs.
The driver, however, a gentleman, admitted his responsibility and offered to compensate him for damages.
But Rasool could not remember the exact number of eggs he had, but he estimated the number between 50 and 100.
He was also able to tell the gentleman that if the eggs were counted by 2's and 3's at a time, none would be left, but if counted by 5's at a time, 3 would remain, and that he sold the eggs 50 paise a piece.
The gentleman made some quick calculations and paid Rasool adequately.
