 Jim and Joe both had some lambs.

Jim tells Joe "give me one of your lambs and I will have twice as many as you will then have.

Joe retorts "give me one of yours and then we will have the same number."

How many sheep does each have before they start trading?

This can be solved intuitively or with algebra?

I will provide the answer Thursday evening.

 Jim has 7, Joe has 5
Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Intuitive or algebra (or had you already been exposed to this one?)

 superbjversion has it correct. I would like to know whether she did the equations or used trial and error or had seen this teaser before.

Algebra solve

Jim's lambs = x Joe's lambs = y

Jim gains a lamb x+1 = 2(y-1) reduces to x+1 = 2y-2 reduces to x = 2y-3

Joe gains a lamg x-1 = y+1 reduces to x = y+2

So the first x = the second x - 2y-3 = y+2 which reduces to y = 5 (Joe's lambs) and x = y +2 or x = 5+2 = 7 (Jim's lambs.

Next time I will set answer to approve comments so the first person to answer does not keep others from working on it.
