There is a group of $5$ children, where two of the children are twins. How many ways can I distribute $6$ identical pieces of candy to the children, if the twins must get an equal amount of candy?

Explanation:

I think if there are 5 children where are two are twins and you have 6 candies to be distributed

So you will give 1 candy to each child left is 1 candy which you will break into 2 pieces and give both pieces to twins
