Extra Terrestrial Puzzle
The Puzzle:
Remember the film? Well this puzzle has got nothing to do with it.
On the planet Glogg, the inhabitants are similar to human beings, however they differ in one respect -
• they either have 3 heads and the usual number of arms and legs (known as "headers") OR
• they have one head and 3 legs and 3 arms (known as "leggers").
Last week, I was talking to a group of friends from the planet and between them they had 15 heads and 48 limbs. How many headers and how many leggers were there?
