2. In reply to an inquiry about the animals on his farm, the farmer says: "I only ever keep sheep, goats, and horses. In fact, at the moment they are all sheep bar three, all goats bar four, and all horses bar five." How many does he have of each animal?

and i calculated 12000.?ÿ but you have to utilize significant figures to get the trailing decimals to roll off due to rounding.......?ÿ ;P)?ÿ
When you were a kid and you had an owie, a parent might put a BandAid on it to make you feel better quickly.?ÿ For us old folks, they now make this size of BandAid.

I got 12,000 with integer calculations, no significant figure manipulation required.
I assumed that "one sixth" meant 1/6 of the total amount. There is a tendancy to read it as 1/6 of the 2nd bequest in the same pattern as follows the first one.
1 horse

Yup.
These puzzles are too easy for you Brainiac's. They ain't gonna get any harder either, I get a headache just reading the easy ones. ?????ÿ
grandma left 6/12 + 3/12 + 2/12 to her grandchildren and brother. That is 11/12, leaving 1/12 remainder for the dog. 1/12 of the money is $1000. So 12/12 is $12,000.
To be certain, my Cliff Clavin fall back answer did cover the pass......?ÿ?ÿ ;)?ÿ?ÿ
