Jim and Wanda both have some apples. If Jim gives Wanda an apple, they will both have the same number of apples. However, if Wanda gives Jim an apple, Jim will have twice as many as Wanda. How many apples do Jim and Wanda each have?
Jim has 7 apples and Wanda has 5 apples.

This is a great brain teaser, it’s quite simple to solve in hindsight but in a group of 7 not one person got it.
