FAIR PRIZES *
Four girls at the back of the classroom were comparing the number of prizes they had won at the fair. ‘I’ve got one more than you,’ said Bernice. ‘I’ve got two more than you,’ said one girl to another. ‘I’ve got three more than you,’ said one to another, ‘I’ve got four more than you,’ ‘I’ve got five more than you,’ ‘I’ve got six more than you,’ rang out their excited voices, but we don’t know who was talking to whom.
If they won a total of 27 prizes, how many did Bernice win?
