I don't get these riddles...

Now, the midget has created two wormhole mouths, one at the bottom of the building, and one in his apartment. After letting these sit for the proper amount of time to allow him to gain the time necessary to go far enough into the future to get a Dr. Pepper, he brings the wormhole at the bottom of the building up to his apartment. Passing through in one direction will send him into the future, and the other direction will send him to the past. He first goes to the future, acquires a Dr. Pepper machine, brings this machine back in time with him, and puts it to the 24th floor. When he goes up the elevator, he stands on the block of ice to press buttons. But even with the block of ice, he can only hit the buttons up to 24 (he's a very short midget). He wears the parachute because it helps him feel like he's living dangerously.

there you have a puzzle (an old one though):
an old man dies and his possessions (17 camels) are given to his 3 sons. the old man wanted his oldest sun to get 1/2 of the camels, the middle one 1/3 of the camels and the youngest 1/9 of the camels.
now they have no clue how to solve this, as they dont want to cut the camels into pieces.
so they go see ...[text shortened]... hat leaves them with 1 camel left over, which they give back to the wise man. how did that work?
