Thursday Thinker

[MichaelJH]

On my small holding I keep chicken, pigs and goats.

Apart from chickens I gave three more animals.

Apart from pigs I have four more animals.

Apart from goats I have five more animals.

How many do I have of each?

[SheldonC]

3, 2 & 1

[Hidden]

LoL not a clue, thank God I’m a vegan……………and thick !

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Hidden]

On my allotment I grow lettuces, carrots, parsnips and no sprouts.

Apart from lettuces I gave thirty more vegetable plants.

Apart from carrots I have forty more vegetable plants

Apart from parsnips I have fifty more vegetable plants.

How many do I have of each?

P.S. I will not be doing a pescatarian one! 🤣

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to MichaelJH]

Or for Hidden . Let A = number of lettuces, etc. I didn't assign X to lettuces as we don't want the animals in the vegetable garden! 🥕 🐴

Tears rolling down my face, the funniest comeback for years ! {still thick}

[Lezzers]

Oh blimy, that's hurt my brain!! Now where did I leave my abacus 🤔

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Lezzers]

A seven year old solved it with his farmyard set. Or you could use some trivial algebra. Let X = number of chickens 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔, etc...

[Lezzers in reply to MichaelJH]

A 7 years old was recently showing me her sums on the computer and was astonished I didn't know the answer to them!! Hey, I couldn't even work out what the question was let alone the answer!! 🤣🤣

[MDR1]

Do you have 3 chickens, 2 pigs and 1 goat?

[Stuart2441]

Well, After looking at both your questions I am afraid that all I see is lots of meat and veg. Now, where's the Yorkshires...😂😂😂

[Lezzers in reply to Stuart2441]

🤣🤣

[jeanjeannie50]

You have:

3 Chickens

2 Pigs

1 Goat

[Chappychap]

I agree with jeanjeannie

[VelvetSky]

Goodness Michael, it’s far too early in morning for me to do any serious thinking🙀

[MichaelJH Heart Star]

Especially for Lezzers and others...

Let A = number of chickens

Let B = number of pigs

Let C = number of goats

You can then write equations like A + B = 5, etc. and solve by simply algebra.
