This is where you add layers to the problem by giving away mangoes. You give Alice two more mangoes than you give Gunther, and the dog steals one but you still have twelve mangoes. How many mangoes did Gunther get?
Five.
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.
They did the math
Did the dog steal from me, Alice, or Gunther?
Well doggonnit now I'm confused
