Let's assume that Jim has x apples and Wanda has y apples. According to the first statement, if Jim gives Wanda an apple, they will have the same number of apples. This means that: x - 1 = y + 1 x = y + 2 According to the second statement, if Wanda gives Jim an apple, Jim will have twice as many appRead more
Let’s assume that Jim has x apples and Wanda has y apples.
According to the first statement, if Jim gives Wanda an apple, they will have the same number of apples. This means that:
x – 1 = y + 1
x = y + 2
According to the second statement, if Wanda gives Jim an apple, Jim will have twice as many apples as Wanda. This means that:
x + 1 = 2(y – 1)
x = 2y – 3
We can now combine these two equations by substituting the first equation into the second equation:
y + 2 = 2y – 3
y = 5
Substituting this value of y into the first equation gives us:
x = y + 2 = 7
Therefore, Jim has 7 apples and Wanda has 5 apples.

The key to understanding this riddle is to notice that the last line says “Not one lost and all gained.” This means that the total amount of money they won was the same as the total amount they played for, so the game did not result in any net loss or gain of money.
Since there were four players and all of them won the same amount of money, we can assume that they each won one-fourth of the total amount played for. This way, when they squared accounts, each player had received the same amount of money and nobody had lost any money.
For example, if they played for $400 in total, each player would have won $100. When they squared accounts, each player would have received $100, which adds up to the total of $400 they played for. Therefore, not one lost and all gained, as the riddle states.
