Typical Sat Questions MAG
If four stubborn monks
wandered endlessly through
the mountainous regions of Tibet
in search of fine linens,
how many black-haired donkeys
could scamper three-hoofed
across an 80-foot beam,
in comparison to the time it takes
a herd of wild billygoats to graze
upon a 20-acre field of alfalfa
at standard temperature and air pressure?
Twelve tribal natives dance
around an open flame
at a rate three times
as fast as the three-toed tree sloth of
northwestern Africa can gnaw
on a two-foot bamboo twig.
With this in mind, calcluate the time
it takes for a band of savage marauders
to steal two barrels of flour
from a lonely traveling merchant
in a secluded, Mexican village.
