Today's Question - Murray the Master Meatloaf Maker was whipping up some of his famous "mini-loafs" for a card game ("Smoker's Poker"). He usually made enough so that each player got three. But today he absentmindedly made more. So, when Jake and James made a surprise appearance, there was still enough. Leaving Murray out of the equation, now each person got two. How many mini-loafs did Murray make and how many smokers were originally invited?

Reveal Answer Corner Answer - To Murray's Smoker's Poker and the mini meatloaf confusion. If all had two apiece, then the two surprise guests ate a total of four. Since that reduced the other players from three to two (net loss of one each), the four loafs meant four players. And there were twelve mini-loafs (4 x 3) shared by the guests. (Heaven only knows what Murray ate.)
