Since the topic has gone out the window, I will superimpose myself and offer the next math puzzle :P  For this solution, you need more than an answer, you need a method, since the answer can be derived through a program that runs through millions of possibilities.

Dogs cost 15.00$, cats cost 1.00$, and mice cost $0.25.  How can you spend $1000 and buy 1000 animals?  And you MUST buy at least one of each :P

Erm, here is what I got...:
Code: [Select]
15D+1C+M/4=1000  and  D+C+M=1000

15D+C+M/4=D+C+M
15D+M/4=D+M
14D=3M/4
56D=3M
I don't want to hurt any puppies or mice...

I actually went to all of the trouble of making a brute force calculator too.
