Riddle Solver – Hard

Hard riddles often include extra information (like a known item cost, a twist, or rounding instructions) and may require a full system of equations.

Approach:

  • Extract every relationship and write it as its own line.
  • Define variables carefully (you may need two unknowns).
  • Solve systematically (elimination or substitution) and keep your working tidy.

Check: your solution must satisfy every statement in the story, not just the first total.
