    hard puzzle

    H iAll, like the title suggests a tough one
    You have to start 100 hundred people , consisting of men, women and children,
    With values of Men = Β£10, Women =.50p and children Being valued at 12.5p.
    You have to work out, How many men, Women & children, are req to make up
    Β£100 , but you must end up with, 100 people
    Eg, which is incorrect , 4 men 92 women + 4 kids, 100 people for sure, but
    4 men = Β£40, 92 women = Β£41, so 4 kids = 50p which is only total of Β£81.50
    so you have 100 people, but not Β£100,
    can you work it out ??:giggle:
