Bow many had be at first T C. S. Th maker of the problem offer two gaetboda for Its solution, aa follows: 'j Mental solution Xf th dealer had only a chicken remaining after Bell ing H of what he had left on leaving B, he must hav sold to C. a chicken or had on chicken after leaving B; and 1H ohickcas after calling to B Mb his stock; or I chickens before selling to B, or Ife chicken after selling to , but before giving him half a ahtckea. But h sold to A. H of bis original stock, leaving ' chlckaaa; so his original number must have been seven. lf v A solution by algebra la simpler. i i . X equals number of eblckene at first.
