Hello,
This is a very very hard math question, and yes, it IS possible.
I am 99 percent sure no one will get THIS one done fast lol
Here goes:
One day, a person went to horse racing area, Instead of counting the number of human and horses, he instead counted 74 heads and 196 legs. Yet he knew the number of humans and horses there. How did he do it, and how many humans and horses are there?
Heheh, go on, answer it devil;

Are there more horses then humans or more humans then horses?

[GoodGuy17]

I cannot tell you, the information in the question is sufficient to answer it

LoL I've been trying to solve this and I really can't get to an answer that makes some sense.

I got this off the internet, and I was stumped, then thought it was IMPOSSIBLE, I sent a message to the creator and he told me.
P.S. Would be sad if somebody just looked on the internet now that I said I found it there :(

Let's assume that HM = Human and
HR = Horse
HM + HR = 74
2HM + 4HR = 196
(2HM + 4HR) - (2 HM + 2HR) = 196 - 148
2HR = 48
HR = 24
HM + (24) = 74
HM = 74 - 24
HM = 50

So, the solution is 24 horses and 50 humans.
