Bread Factory Puzzle 
  
At the bread factory 2 bakers can make and bake 6 batches of rolls in 3 hours. 
  
By this same reasoning, how many bakers will it take to make and bake 22 batches of rolls in 5 hours? 
  
Solution (Previous Puzzle): 
  
3,672. 
  
The actual number of adults and children doesn't actually matter! 
If all of the people were adults then half of them (306) would be given 12 sweets: 
  
  306 x 12 = 3672 
  
If all of the people were children then three quarters of them (459) would be given 8 sweets: 
  
  459 x 8 = 3672 
  
If there were 512 adults (so 256 would get 12 sweets = 3072) and 100 children (so 75 would get 8 sweets = 600): 
  
  256 x 12 + 75 x 8 = 3672 
  
We can change the numbers of adults and children, but it doesn't change the answer. The reason for this lies in the fact that 1/2 adults x 12 sweets = 3/4 children x 8 sweets (both are 6).
