Anybody heard the problem that a great mathematician once solved?

Sounded like

"Every day, a flock of sheeps goes on one nearby hill and rests and eats some grass.
Asserting that 109 sheeps can eat the grass in ten days and 100 sheeps can eat it in eleven days, how much time need forty sheeps to finish all the grass?"

I'll post the answer in a few days (I'm not coming here very regularly).
