Okay, if your head isn’t already messed up… pleasew look at this post from a blog I started following.
Farida writes in Italian, but it is a math problem, and therefore universal. But I shall repeat her problem here:
A cat and a half in a minute and a half eat a mouse and a half. How many cats do you need to eat 60 mice in 30 minutes?
If you want to play, please answer on her post, as she will be posting the answer tomorrow.
As you can see if you visit the post, I have attempted an answer, but I could well be wrong. It’s one of those times where I really miss not writing, because it’d really help to do some working out. And most of you know that my mental state (which includes my arithmetic) is… fallible!

Ho posto questa domanda ad alcuni amici su FB. Ci sono stati molti dibattiti. Una persona crede che *quale* metà sia, è importante!
