there was DIMIC maths which I wasn't apart of but I still solved anyway the question was Some octopuses, fish and a few mermaids are in a rock pool. Altogether there are 38 arms, 24 eyes and 8 tails in the pool.
How many mermaids are there?
all of the creatures have 2 eyes so you divide 24 by 2 = 12 assuming there are roughly the same amount of creatures we'll say there are 3 outputs 38 - 24 = 14 3 mermaids 14 - 6 = 8 8 legs left probably for the octopus 4 octopus + 3 mermaids mermaid have tails so 8 - 3 = 5 so there are 4 octopus 3 mermaids and 5 fish.
