- [0](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/lessons/167-heads-and-legs-in-disguise/0/) — Any story with two kinds of things, a total count and a total of something else, is a chickens and rabbits problem.
- [2](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/lessons/167-heads-and-legs-in-disguise/2/) — If all were bicycles, there would be 24 wheels; 5 wheels are left over, and each tricycle has 1 wheel more, so there are 5 tricycles.
- [3](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/lessons/167-heads-and-legs-in-disguise/3/) — Tickets work the same way: if all were cheap tickets, the money missing shows how many dear ones there are; divide it by the difference in price.
