under the assumption that none of them have 2 brown eyes, here's what i think.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "total number of eyes is 44 (2 each for 22 huskies)
\n" ); document.write( "total number of brown eyes is 6 (44 - 38 = 6)
\n" ); document.write( "that means that 6 blue eyes are paired with one brown eye each.
\n" ); document.write( "this leaves 32 blue eyes that are not paired with a brown eye (38 - 6 = 32)
\n" ); document.write( "since each dog has 2 eyes (another assumption), then 16 dogs have 2 blue eyes each.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "working back, we have:
\n" ); document.write( "16 dogs with 2 blue eyes each = 32 blue eyes
\n" ); document.write( "6 dogs with 1 brown eye and 1 blue eye each = 6 brown eyes and 6 blue eyes.
\n" ); document.write( "total number of eyes is: 38 blue eyes and 6 brown eyes = 44
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
