Lizzy: Ignatius owns 4 bicycles. A friend of his owns different types of cycles, which have three times are many tires as Ignatius's bikes have. He has one unicycle, a tricycle, and the rest are bikes. How many bicycles does the friend own?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:

Ignatius has 8 tires because 2 x 4 = 8. His friend has 24 tires because 3 x 8 = 24. There are 20 bicycle wheels because 24 - 1 - 3 = 20. He has 10 bicycles because 20 / 2 = 10. Final answer: 10.
