Only help it gives is Mary has p sweets.
Only help it gives is Mary has p sweets.
Abdul must have an even number of sweets therefore the lowest values that would fit are:
m = 2
c = 7
a = 4
t = 1
There are no highest values.
m = 2
c = 7
a = 4
t = 1
There are no highest values.
Helpful if you knew the value of p. Perhaps a previous question?

It isn't a previous question. Maybe a spelling mistake but got me beat.
My wife agrees with you but has Tina as -1 , whereas you have it as 1.
I need a drink....

if Tina has 3 fewer than Abdul's 4 then she's got 1
was there a previous question that asked for the value of p?

I believe you have cracked it .
Cheers :D

this is a trick question - it depends on the type of sweets

there can be loads of different answers for this ...what a mug question they gave her :|
They are obviously asking her to answer in algebraic terms, if there's no other information available.
