Greg says that the answer is 44 here, but couldn’t we get a smaller number by dividing 84 by 4, or a greater factor than 2?
- So if we divide it by 4 we can get 21 / 21 / 21/ 21 and then 1 for all the rest
- But then we have the other 3 than the first child give 1 candy each to the first child, which would mean they get 24 and the other three each have 20
- Which is smaller than 44?
What changes if you add 5 candies to the second?
