As I was taking my daughter trick or treating last year (starting at the corner of 45th Avenue and 93rd Street), I noticed that the neighbors seemed to copy each other with their Halloween decorations. I saw cornstalks and pumpkins everywhere.
On the first street we saw:
• The first house had 5 cornstalks
• The second house had 1 cornstalk and 4 pumpkins
• The third house had 5 pumpkins
• The fourth house had 3 pumpkins and 2 cornstalks
• The fifth house had 1 cornstalk and 4 pumpkins
Then we crossed the street and headed back and we saw:
• The first house had 1 pumpkins and 4 cornstalks
• The second house had 5 cornstalks
• The third house had 2 pumpkins and 3 cornstalks
• The fourth house had 2 cornstalks and 3 pumpkins
• The fifth house had 2 pumpkins and 3 cornstalks
We didn’t see any monsters. I wonder what the decorations will be this year?
