Today's Teaser......

There was a young fellow named Clive
Whose bees number ten power five

The daughters to each son

Were as nineteen to one,

A truly remarkable hive.

How many sons (drones) were in the hive?

Answer; Five Thousand. Ten power five = 100,000. Divide that out (it was a 19:1 ratio) and you get a ratio of 95,000:5,000 (daughters:sons).
