Question 1193655: Five people, A, B, C, D, E, went fishing and had a agreement how the catch would be divided. Each are to place their catch with the one next to them.
A and B - 14.
B and C - 20.
C and D - 18.
D and E - 12.
A and E caught just alike.
C pooled catch with B and D, and each took 1/3.
Each does the same, adding their catch to their friend on each side, then dividing each into 3 portions until all 5 are alike.
Determine amount each person caught.
Unsure how to solve.
