Mind Your Decisions presents the "Seemingly impossible number of girls puzzle."
In Miss O's class, 1/3 of the students brought a teddy bear to school. Each boy took 12 books, each girl took 17 books, and each teddy bear took 9 books. A total of 305 books were taken out. How many girls were there in Miss Q's class?
