OOPS AGAIN!!! here is the corrected one!(really!)

I have created a program that can "solve" this problem,
probably very similar to the one that was advertised.
It will even work if you changed "chickens" to "ducks" or "geese"!

NOTE: if you don't look at the code, just copy it, it will seem amazing.


include get.e
include misc.e

sequence question
puts(1,"Enter the question: ")
question=gets(0)

puts(1,"\n\nCalculating")
for none=1 to 5 do
	sleep(1)
	puts(1,".")
end for

puts(1,"\n\nThe answer is: 30")
if wait_key() then end if
