Foo - Solve it.

No cheating! and that means no google/interweb searches! Please be/stay honest! OK, A great space explorer found a new inhabited planet, he went to this planet and landed on the surface, while on his three hour visit he counted 139 males, 249 females, and 328 that had both male and female organs, in all how many aliens were on this planet.

One.

Uhh...just one, the explorer. All theothers were native to the planet.

bastards! :p

bastards! :p

See? Foo's smart when it wants to be. Which, incidentally, was just this one instance.

I was gonna say none, he didn't specify the people he met were crewmembers or aliens. I hate trick questions.

:p

And I was thinking substitution. :)


OK once again no searching and no trick here:

A farmer has some pigs and chickens. He sent his son and daughter to count how many of each he had. "I counted 70 heads," said the son. "And I counted 200 legs," said his daughter. How many pigs and how many chickens does the farmer actually have?

π.

Enough to make a decent round of eggs and sausage.

30 pigs and 40 chickens.

30 pigs and 40 chickens.

You have to show your work for full credit.

x + y = 70
2x + 2y = 140
2x + 4y = 200
2y = 60
y = 30
x = 40

Most of us do this in our head. :thumb:

X+136= Alien.

Men are from mars, women are from venus, so they are all aliens.
