play in the nearby park. It was real fun! I rode my new bicycle

that there were a total of 12 bicycles and tricycles. If the total
number of wheels was 30, how many tricycles were there? 5. Game of
ChocolatesLast vacation, my cousin came over to stay at my home. We
made the most of her stay at my place... and I even earned a few
chocolates.Everyday, we would play a game of chess. Whoever lost
the game owed a chocolate to the other. After the last game we
played (that was the day she was to leave), we counted the number
of games each of us had won and lost. Wow! I had won more than her.
So, she handed me 15 chocolates... though she herself was the
winner in 12 games.
How many days did my cousin spend at my place?
