TIME TO TELL 

A sundial is said to be the timepiece with the fewest moving parts. What is the timepiece with the most moving parts?

Answer to Brain Booster

There are 28 people and 35 dogs.First, since dogs and people both have 2 eyes, divide 126 by 2. There are 63 at the dog show. You know that dogs have two more legs than humans. There are 70 more legs than eyes. Half of 70 is 35. Subtract 63-35=28. So there could be 35 dogs and 28 people. (or 28 dogs and 35 people) To check if there are 35 dogs, multiply 4×35=140 then add 28×2=56 for the number of human legs. 140+56=196.
