Math brain teasers require computations to solve. There are six
players on a coed volleyball team. After an exhausting game,
each girl drinks 5 cups of water. Each boy drinks 7 cups of
water. The coach drinks 9 cups. A total of 43 cups of water is
consumed by everyone. How many boys and how many girls are there
on the team? 4 girls and 2 boys Aug 14, 2002 |If there are six
players on the team, how do you get 5 girls and 2 boys??| May
29, 2003 |the coach was a girl| Aug 13, 2003 |You forgot the
water boy...| Mar 04, 2006 |What was the coach's problem that
he/she needed so much water, while it was the players doing all
of the work?| Jul 14, 2006 |This was too easy... after I took
out the coaches water, I knew there were only two boys because
that was the only way it could have ended in four... I could
have solved this when i was a little kid...| Feb 01, 2009 |Way
too easy. | The water the coach drinks is pointless to the
teaser. The 34 remaining are 2 less than the average of 6, so
there must be two more girls
