Crazy algebra problem! We need to know, as this guy does, how many humans and how many horses are at the race. Choose a letter to represent the number of humans, and then choose another letter to represent the number of horses. Last time I looked, both humans and horses have one head per living creature. what does that tell you about the sum of the number of human heads and the number of horse heads?
