A dying person wrote in his Halachic will, If his pregnant wife will have a son, The son shall receive 2/3 of his assets and his wife shall receive 1/3 of his assets.
If she will have a daughter, then, the wife shall receive 2/3 of his assets, and the daughter shall receive 1/3 of his assets.
His wife had twins, a boy and a girl.
How do you divide the assets?

Brisker solved this with a very simple solution. The dying
husband wanted his son to receive twice
as much as his mother. He also
wanted the mother to receive twice as much
as her daughter.
Therefore you
divide the assets into seven parts.
The son gets 4 parts, the mother gets 2
parts and the daughter gets 1 part.
