Today's Question - The late and great Grandma Cashin made little Irish soda breads for her grandchildren each St. Paddy's Day. She usually made enough that each child got three. But today when she put them in the serving basket, she realized she had two more than she needed. Her son was delighted. Now he and his brother could have some too. And, if Grandma Cashin wanted to join in everyone would have just two apiece. How many little breads are in the basket? How many grandchildren does she have?
Reveal Answer
Answer - Okay! So they all shared equally and thus ate two soda breads apiece. So....Grandma and her two sons had a total of 6 (or 2 each). Of these, 2 came from the "surprise" extras. So that left 4 breads that "For those who are with us For those who are against us And if God cannot turn their hearts So we may know them by their limp!"

That means there were 4 grandchildren and a total of 14 cakes (4 x 3 + "2").Doesn't match Missing info Like question
