  Find the Number of Animals in the Farm
  Difficulty Level
  
  A farmer keeps three types of animals on his farm: cows, pigs and horses. Can you guess how many of each animal he has based on the following information?
  
  1) Three of the animals are NOT cows
  2) Four of the animals are NOT pigs
  3) Five of the animals are NOT horses
  
  Answer: 3 cows, 2 pigs and 1 horse.
  
  EXPLANATION: You can use algebra to solve the problem:
  1) Pigs + Horses = 3
  2) Cows + Horses = 4
  3) Cows + Pigs = 5
  
  Use the first two equations and isolate for Horses:
  Horses = 3 - Pigs
  Horses = 4 - Cows
  therefore 3 - Pigs = 4 - Cows
  
  Replace Cows in the above equation with 5 - Pigs (from equation 3):
  3 - Pigs = 4 - (5 - Pigs)
  3 - Pigs = 4 - 5 + Pigs
  3 - Pigs = -1 + Pigs
  4 = 2 x Pigs
  Pigs = 2
  
  Replacing Pigs with 2 in equations 1 and 3 will give you the number of Horses and Cows.
