Puzzle: "I know that a diamond is worth 2/3 of a diamond plus 2/3 of a ruby plus 2/3 of a pearl plus 2/3 of an emerald - and a ruby is worth 2/3 of a ruby plus 2/3 of a pearl plus 2/3 of an emerald - and that a pearl is worth 2/3 of a pearl plus 2/3 of an emerald, but how many emeralds is a diamond worth?" | ||

this doesn't seem quite like a lateral puzzle, just a mathematical one. If the question is sraightforward, the answer would be 18 I believe. Is there more to it? | ||
