multiples of 25 that leave a remainder divisible evenly by 18. The multiples of 18 have to end in either 1 or 6 for multiples of 25 to be added. No multiples of 18 end in 1, and multiples of 2-7-12-etc. end in 6,
two multiples of 25 leave 126, which is evenly divisible by 18 (7)
7 children and 2 adult
