Math problem from yesterday
This was a math question from class yesterday. I thought it would be pretty simple, but it turned out to be more challenging than I thought.
Eric the Sheep
Eric the sheep is lining up to be shorn before the hot summer ahead. There are 200 sheep in front of him. Eric can’t be bothered waiting his turn, so he decides to sneak towards the front. Every time a sheep is shorn, Eric sneaks past two sheep in line. How many sheep will be shorn before Eric?
Any guesses on what the answer is?

Nettie,
So great to be able to share in your days. Thanks for your wonderful example and love to all. I have pondered this math problem, but probably not enough.
I have not come up with an answer yet. Stay tuned!! :-)
Thanks for putting in the cute picture of Karoline.
Love, Lisa
