  • Thank you :)

  • You don't have to guess to solve it.

    a = numbers of cows of cowboy A

    b = numbers of cows of cowboy B

    a+1 = 2(b-1)

    b+1 = a-1

    =>

    a = 7 and b = 5

see all

  • It's a Cheez-it!

  • I was right as well @TadaKiba, I knew that the area was like a rectangle more and I knew the area was increased. I just didn't seem to know how it came to be 50 cubic centimeters.

  • Now i can die in peace

  • Yay, I was right!

  • That's pretty fucking neat. No lie..

  • fucking love you SB!

  • @kadahj2 is this problem unsolvable

  • @Dragononxtc There are only 49 SQUARES, but theres a wide rectangle in the bottom that has the value of 1 square unit. So there is 50 SQUARE UNITS. I hope that explains it a little bit...

  • @kadahj2 cowboy a has 7 cows and cowboy b has 5
