          weaknesses.  But the fact that another way may seem preferable to           
          petitioner does not mean that the manner chosen is without a                
          rational basis.3  Section 152(e) withstands petitioner’s                    
          constitutional challenge.                                                   
                                             Decision will be entered                 
                                        for respondent.                               


























               3    At best petitioner’s argument is somewhat convoluted.             
          If there were an odd number of children involved, petitioner                
          acknowledges that equal apportionment of the sec. 151 dependency            
          exemption deduction would not be possible.  Presumably, even                
          petitioner realizes that the answer could not be derived from               
          King Solomon’s wisdom.
