Well, it appears that this is a tongue twister, intimidating more than difficult. Start at the beginning.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Gabby's guppy had 36 -- Given
\n" ); document.write( "Gail's guppy had 16 -- Given
\n" ); document.write( "Gus's guppy = Gordon's guppy - 11 We'll come back to this one!
\n" ); document.write( "Greg's guppy = Gabby's guppy - 15 = 36 -15= 21\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Greg's guppy = 3 more than Gus, so
\n" ); document.write( "Gus's guppy = 3 less than Greg's = 21 - 3= 18\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Go back to Gus and Gordon:
\n" ); document.write( "Gus = Gordon -11, so
\n" ); document.write( "Gordon = Gus + 11 (where Gus = 18)
\n" ); document.write( " = 18+11 = 29\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Does that do it??\r
