Puzzle it out

На английском сегодня дали решить логическую задачку. Это был мой любимый тип задач по математике. Правда тут ещё и английский мешает. В толковый словарь можно залезть только два раза. Я им воспользовался один раз и решил задачу за полчаса. Пока мы с преподавателем болтали остальные мучились ещё полчаса, но где-то напортачили и всё-равно им пришлось помогать. А ВАМ СЛАБО?
