Three numbers, 16, 14 and 38, need to be assigned to one of the rows of numbers below. Where do the numbers belong?
| A | 0 | 6 | 8 | 9 | 3 |
| B | 15 | 27 | 21 | 10 | 19 |
| C | 7 | 1 | 47 | 11 | 17 |
Hint: This is not a mathematical problem. The numerical values are irrelevant.
The rows indicate the shape of the number. Row A is rounded, B is mixed and C is linear. Thus, 16 belongs in row B, 14 in row C and 38 in row A.

You are in the woods with owls and wolves. There are 22 eyes and 32 legs. How many owls and wolves are there?
5 owls and 5 wolves, (not 6 owls because 2 of the eyes and legs are yours).
2 * owls + 2 * wolves = 20 eyes
2 * owls + 4 * wolves = 30 legs
owls + wolves = 10 eyes → owls = 10 – wolves
owls + 2 * wolves = 15 → 10 – wolves + 2 * wolves = 15 → wolves = 5
owls + 5 = 10 → owls = 5
What’s the simplest way to make 20 using only three 3s (no other digits) and a combination of mathematical operations using any of these symbols?
