Okay, the neighboring wise man loans the estate one of his own sheep. Now there are 60. All the fractions specified in the will (like “half of my sheep”) can now be settled using just whole numbers of sheep, avoiding the problem of distributing fractional sheep. It turns out the combined inheritances add up to 59 sheep, so the leftover one can now be returned to the neighboring wise man.
