Riddle Solver – Hard

Watch for “per” and “each” traps. Hard puzzles sometimes mix totals, unit prices, and quantities in a way that tempts you into the wrong variable.

Defence:

Make sure your variable is what the question asks for (price per item, not total spend).
Convert packs/bundles into unit counts before writing the equation.
Keep a short notes list: known totals, unknowns, constraints.
