Hint
The Spider and the Fly
| The hypothesis |
"If females had two more, and males
But half their present share," |
is that female flies have 6 + 2 or 8 legs,
and male flies have 6 ÷ 2 or 3 legs.
Note that an ordinary fly has six legs.
Can you combine female flies with male flies to get a total of 28
legs ("The number I desire")?
Their Birthday
This chart shows some possible ages for Bertie, Ben, and Sue.
Experiment with possible ages, adding together:
"double one brother, plus treble the other, plus
Sue's age..."
2x Bertie (or Ben) + 3x Ben (or Bertie) + Sue's
age
