minus-squareDeconceptualist@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·edit-21 year agoFive. Started with 25, still have 12, need to account for 13. Dog took one, so that’s 12. If Alice and Gunther got the same number it would be 6 each. But she got 2 more than him, which is just a +1/-1 adjustment. So Alice got 7 and Gunther got 5.
