At the fair

Here is a simple but beautiful image of puzzle, full of fun figures that show how the unknown amounts of things can be discovered by induction, without looking under the tent or using algebra.

It seems that Harry went to the circus, but being a precaution.

The goalkeeper, who was something as ashamed by the little exhibition of wonders inside the fair compared to the shiny images of the posters abroad, pretended to ignore the exact number of wonders of the fair, but told him that telling horses, riders and clowns, added 100 feet and 36 heads, and that there was a collection of wonders of the African jungle that left the total sum in 56 heads and 156 feet.

The image shows the animals exhibited, but since we are more interested in the unknown quantities of the puzzle, we will ask our young friends to tell us the amount of horses, riders and clowns that act in the circus and that they cannot be seen at all in The image, and by the way, as a naive sample of intelligence that they tell us What is the attraction that is hidden in the cage on the left, where the show sign appears? A correct answer to this last question will test your presence in the circus and that you were interested in the peculiarities described.

On that instructive visit to the fair, our young friend easily calculated that if there were one hundred feet and 36 heads between horses, riders and clowns, they had to correspond to fourteen horses and 22 artists. As stated that there were 56 feet and 20 heads more if we included the animals exhibited, and we can see ten animals and seven birds in the image, it is evident that only three more individuals remain, who must have two feet and three heads between the three, so a great imagination is not required to discover that The attraction in the cage, which attracts so much attention, has to be the wonderful snake -charming Hindu with its two snakes.
