Ways to Count Sheep!

Wednesday 1st November 2017

The puzzle for this month is about Percy Cod and Patsy Eel who are both shepherds. They keep sheep in adjacent fields near the source of the river mint. Can you work out how many sheep each person owns from the following clues?

• If Percy sold seven sheep to Patsy, both shepherds would have the same number of sheep.
• If Patsy sold seven sheep to Percy then Percy would have exactly twice as many sheep as Patsy.
