#001

Siblings A, B, C and D are huddling around the fireplace when their mother makes the mistake of asking if they'd each like a cup of hot chocolate. You'd think it'd be easy, but each sibling only wants a specific amount of marshmallows in their hot chocolate.

C: I want half as much as B!
A: I want 6 times more than D!
B: I want 2 less than A!
D: I want 5 less than C!

Time blurs. All the mother knows is the highest number of marshmallows given to a sibling given is less than 21. How many Marshmellows did each sibling receive?

I'm not a natural English, so let me ask you...

"All the mother knows is the highest of marshmallows given to a sibling given is less than 21. How many Marshmellows did each sibling receive?"

Could you explain a little bit? Combo of English and math to me is bad...

What that means is that the mother knows only the highest marshmallows that was given to a sibling. To give solvers a clue, a value of x < 21 was given (x = highest marshmallow). So, the highest amount of marshmallows that the mother gave to a sibling is with a range of 1 to 21.
