I just thought of this on the spot so i dont know the answer anywho I need an answer cause i wanted to ask this to my friends and say the answer to seem smart lol

Answer 1

Explanation:

Jim 1= 60 spoons

Jim 2= 157 spoons

Jim 3= 537 spoons

after Jim 1 took the spoons to the blacksmith he broke 27 spoons which means

Jim 1= 60-27 which leaves him with 33 spoons.

and now

Jim 1= 33 spoons

Jim 2= 157 spoons

Jim 3= 537 spoons

3 normal spoons outta 33 spoons which means he used 11 spoons per each spoon

and now

Jim 1= 3 spoons

Jim 2= 157 spoons

Jim 3= 537 spoons

so finally, all the Jims have 697 spoons in total.

a bit tuff...lol

have a great day mr/mrs. Jim creator :)
