[QUOTE="Zorro, post: 973364, member: 80312"] Ancient mathematical task from the Russian writer Lion Nikolayevich Tolstoy, which he asked schoolchildren 12-13 years old 🤓 Can you solve this task? 🤔 The workers group needed to mow two meadows. The first meadow is twice the second meadow. Half of the day the group mowed a big meadow. Then the group was divided in half. One half of the group remained on a large meadow and completed its work in the evening; Another half of the group went to work on a small meadow and in the evening they had an unprocessed small part of the meadow. The next morning, one worker went to finish the work, and in one day he coped with this mission. Question: [B]How many people were in the group? 🤔[/B] [/QUOTE]
