Sasha's candies 2003-02-18
From Pat:
Tick-tac-toe

Sasha and Trudy are playing tick-tac-toe. Sasha agrees to give trudy two pieces of candy for each game Sasha loses, and Trudy agrees to give Sasha three pieces of candy for each game that Trudy loses. After playing thirty games, Sasha has the amount of candy that he started with. If no ties occurred, how many games did Sasha win?
