Brain teaser!

Bridgette has twice as much money as Carol and $4 more than Vincent.
Carol has $4 less that Darth. The girls have $24. What is true about Vincent and Darth's money?

 

It's MAN money!

DL

 

Darth and Vincent each have $12

 

How did you do that? I looked at it for 5 minutes and couldnt figure it out.

 

Damn i got that as well!! Your too damned fast!
The trick is finding the two numbers that go into the 24.....

 

Philosophy is one of my majors, i love logic games...

basically, u set up equations from the info given. (Use B for bridgette, C for carol, V for vincent and D for darth)

B=2C
B + C = 24
B=V +4
C = D - 4

So then you substitute the 2C for the B in the second equation, and you get that C is equal to $8. You take that and subsitute it back into the first equation, and you get $16 for B. Now you substitute those two values into their respective equations below, and solve for V and D. simple when you break it down like this, right?? the trick to all logic games is to write down all statements and break them down to simple equations...takes some practice, but after a while, you just naturally do it.

 

Thanks! This was a math question that a friend's 9 year old had yesterday! I hate these!
