In the meanwhile from gpuzzles
Birbal is a witty trader who trades in a mystical fruit grown far in north. He travels from one place to another with three sacks which can hold 30 fruits each. None of the sacks can hold more than 30 fruits. On his way, he has to pass through thirty check points and at each check point, he has to give one fruit from each sack to the authorities.
How many mystical fruits remain after he goes through all the thirty check points?

I'm going with 26, but I'm now paranoid and trying to see if the flowers change, the leaf is on a different side ........ this is quite stressful.  |

My brain (stomach) was still thinking about the sacks of mystical fruit and I subtracted 1 (for the missing petal) from the answer to the previous question. |

You are getting too Good
Solution:
25
Explanation:
== Equation1 ==
RedFlower + RedFlower + RedFlower = 60
=> RedFlower = 20
== Equation2==
RedFlower + 5BluePetals + 5BluePetals = 30
=> 20 + 10BluePetals = 30
=> 10BluePetals = 10
=> 1BluePetals = 1
== Equation3 ==
5bluePetals + 2yellowFlower = 3
=> 5 + 2yellowFlower = 3
=> 2yellowFlower = 2
=> 1yellowFlower = 1
== Required ==
YellowFlower + RedFlower + 4BluePetals = ?
=> 1 + 20 + 4 = 25 ... The Answer
