Question: seashells You and a friend are picking seashells on the beach. You say, "Give me 7 of your shells and I will have twice as many as you!" Your friend answers, "Give me 7 of your shells instead and we'll each have the exact same amount!" How many seashells do each of you have? Answer: A wrong guess would be to say '7 shells and no shells'. So you have 49 and your friend has 35. If you give the friend 7, he/she will have 42 and so will you. If the friend gives you 7, you will have 56 and the friend will have 28 ( exactly half ). Just close this window to return to the logic questions. |
