There is NO shame in being able to provide the correct answer each week. If you got it you got it :)

RIDDLE: Mr. and Mrs. Smith were walking home from the shipping mall with their purchases when Mr. Smith began to complain that his load was too heavy. Mrs. Smith turned to her husband and said "I don't know what you're complaining about because if you gave me one of your parcels I would have twice as many as you and if I gave you just one of mine we would have equal loads." How many parcels was each carrying?

ANSWER: Mrs. Smith was carrying seven parcels and Mr. Smith was carrying five.

    no shame, but the fact that the answers can be found easily from various sites, I took myself out of the running a while ago! :)
