	Three chickens weighed in pairs		2015-09-01
		From Shelly: My son brought home a problem of 3 chickens of different weights listing their weights in different groupings of 2. We are to determine the weight of all three together. I think it's a ratio problem, but I am too far removed to formulate a plan to teach him how to solve it. Answered by Robert Dawson and Penny Nom.
	A triangular chicken pen		2014-04-27
		From Cierra: Margaret has two lengths of fence, 20 meters and 24 meters, for two sides of a triangular chicken pen. The third side will be on the north side of the barn.

	Chickens and cows		2007-02-08
		From Norman: My grandson is testing me on a question he recently solved. The question is "A farmer has cows and chickens - there are 252 heads and 81 legs - how many of each animal does he have?" I immediately thought of the quadratic equations I learned 50 years ago at school, but cannot remember how to do it. It is further complicated by the fact that 1 animal must have 3 legs as the total number of legs is 81 (or perhaps he his trying to catch me out) Any helpful advice would be welcome. Many thanks Norman Answered by Stephen La Rocque and Penny Nom.

	Two Questions		1997-08-28
		From Faye Tan: I am a trainee teacher. I would appreciate it very much if you could help me solve the following two problems which I think are meant for students at middle grade. 1. If a hen and a half lays an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many hens are needed to lay a dozen eggs in one day? 2. There are fewer than 200 passengers on a train. If they get off in pairs, one passenger will be without a partner. If they get off in groups of 3 or 4, there will still be one passenger left by himself. However, if they get off in groups of 5, no one will be left by themselves. How many passengers are there on the train? Answered by Penny Nom.
