I Need Help!!!
Two ladies played cards for candy; the winner received one piece per game from the loser. When it was time for one of the ladies to go home, one lady had won three games, while the other lady had won three new pieces of candy.
How many individual games had they played?
Does anyone know the answer?

Re: I Need Help!!!
For the second lady to end up with three more pieces than she started with, she must have won three more times than the first lady.
The total number of games won is the same as the total number of games played.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
