M+D+G=120
M=D/7, or D=7M
M=G/12, or G=12M
thus, M+7M+12M=120
or, 20M=120
therefore M=6.

I struggled with the wording and am open to suggestions if you (or anyone else) comes up with them.

This link is a explanation on how to do the math for this one.

The only thing I would say about this teaser is that the wording was very confusing but made more sense when I saw the answer. I don’t know how to fix the wording though so I guess the gripe is moot.

Thanks for posting these I’ve hand many hours of enjoyment on their behalf as well as they work well for Friday games in the workplace. A mass email to everyone including a teaser or 2. I sent this one out today and one guy got it withing 9 minutes by guess and check.

I wouldn’t mind at all. You’re more than welcome to add to the explanation.

Lots of math/algebra involved. Would you mind if I posted an explanation of the math involved?
