Reply With Quotenot as easy as i first thought haha
heres a pretty simple one.
two drovers meet each other on a trail. one drover says to the other if you give me one of your cows we will have the same amount each, the other replies yeah but if you give me one of yours i'll have twice the number you have.
How many do they start with?
Pretty damn simple if you use simultaneous equations or can do very simple mental arithmetic LOL
