Puzzle
- US Version
Dalston has posed a math problem to Hershel. It's written on a homework sheet, but it's torn in several places, making it very difficult to read.
Dalston smirks as he watches Hershel examine the puzzle. With an air of self-satisfaction, he says, "Still struggling? But this is the simplest math problem ever!"
Can you help Hershel work out the answer to the problem? Write down the number.
