A dying man had to choose between his three sons for who would receive his house. He gave them each 2 coins to buy something that would fill the largest room in the house completely. The first son bought a bag of feathers. The second son bought a bag of rice. The third son bought 2 objects, however. The feathers only filled the room a quarter of the way full. The rice only filled it half full. The third son's gift filled the whole room entirely with his two objects. What did the third son buy?
