Sonali decided to do a survey of birds in her garden over an hour. In that time there were two more sparrows than blue tits, of which there were twice as many as robins, of which there were 80% fewer than the number of wagtails observed. If these were the only species of bird present, and there was an average of eight birds of each species, how many blue tits did Sonali count?
8
Sparrow- s Tit- t Robin- r Wagtail- w
s=t+2 r=s/2= 1/2*(t + 2) r=w-80%---> w=1.8*r=1.8*1/2*(t+2) t+s+r+w=4*8=32 ---> ---> t+(t+2)+t/2+1+1.8*1/2*(t+2)=32 ---> ---> t=8, s=10, r=5, w=9 Blue tits counted - 8

At a garden shop they're selling Magic Grass, a patch of sod that doubles in size every day.

A cracker company was very mad when they heard the results from their cracker survey. The result said that the customers would prefer crackers to nothing at all. The same customers think that donuts are better than everything else.

How did he come up with that?
