Maths may not be my strongest suit, but i managed to balance these two equations so that so many M = so many F plus or minus a few.

Very pleased with myself to get the correct answer first time.

great job. Exactly how I did it - M and F all over a bit of paper. If only I had children I could have used their toys.

Try using M anf F. Write it out remembering there must always be two less F than M.

Here is what I did, quite simply really...

Spoiler: (highlight to read)

I simply constructed a table/chart with males on one side and females on the other. I then proceeded to put down numbers in each side, making sure that I only had pairs that were +2 on the male side compared to the female side. I wrote out up until 20 or so and then started checking which one fit the formula. Simple, really.
