Garfield and Friends was an American animated television series based on the comic strip Garfield by Jim Davis. The show was produced by Film Roman, in association with United Feature Syndicate and Paws, Inc., and ran on CBS Saturday mornings from 1988 to late 1994. Reruns continued until 1995.
The series featured segments based on Garfield and U.S. Acres, a lesser-known comic strip also created by Davis. The latter was retitled Orson's Farm for foreign syndication as well as the DVD releases. The original logo was retained in the 9 Story Media Group version.
242 Garfield segments and 121 U.S. Acres segments were produced. There were two "Garfield" segments on each show, two "quickie" shorts based on Sunday comic strips, and in between was a U.S. Acres segment.
Segments
Garfield
The "Garfield" segments focus on the adventures of Garfield, Jon and Odie in the suburban world. The only characters from the strip not to appear are Doc Boy Arbuckle, Grandma Arbuckle, Squeak and Irma. Jon's parents and Arlene make cameo appearances in "Feeling Feline" and "Remote Possibilities" respectively. While cartoons from earlier seasons focused more on Garfield's wacky antics, later seasons focused more on behind-the-scenes satire, parodies and breaking the fourth wall.
U.S. Acres
The "U.S. Acres" segments were based on Jim Davis' lesser-known comic strip, which was about Orson Pig and his barnyard friends; Roy Rooster, Lanolin Sheep, Bo Sheep, Wade Duck, Booker and Sheldon and the life they run together on their farm. The only characters from the original strip not to appear are Blue and Cody. Originally, the segments were focused on morals and social lessons; later segments focused more on comedy, breaking the fourth wall and slapstick.
When the show was originally broadcast on CBS, the episodes usually had three Quickies (30- to 45-second gags), usually two "Garfield Quickies" (the first one being played before the intro theme) and one "U.S. Acres Quickie," the latter of which was never shown in syndication.
As the show had been doing well enough in syndication, the production company found it unnecessary to produce more episodes. An agreement was made to end the show after the seventh season, despite garnering high ratings. CBS scrapped its Saturday morning cartoon line-up in September 1997. In the intro of the final episode, Garfield states "After seven seasons, we've pretty much said everything you can say in this spot".

So got a few winners for today's one. Everyone :rat-salute: comrades @Coolkidbozzy, @VHS, @CopsDyingIsGood, @femboi, @XiJinpingOfficial, @LeninWeave, @biden and comrade @01100011101001111100 for not only getting it but also providing a great method for solving which she has allowed me to use for the answer.
Previous answer
4 brothers, 3 sisters
To arrive at the answer:
-
Let the number of boys be B, let the number of girls be G.
-
From the first relation, we have B-1 = G as we take it from the point of view of one of the boys, we must remove that boy from the relation
-
From the second relation, we have G-1 = B/2 each sister has exactly half as many sisters as brothers.
-
With a little rearranging, we can get B = G+1 and 2G-2 = B => G+1 = 2G-2 => 3 +G= 2G => G=3
-
We just plug this into B-1 = G and get B-1 = 3 => B=4.
Therefore, there are 4 boys and 3 girls.
This should also be all possible solutions, but if anyone is a real stickler we can check by a 2x2 matrix to see if it's invertible. These linear equations correspond to matrix equations {{1, -1}, {-1/2, 1}} * {{B}, {G}} = {{1}, {1}} and as {{1, -1}, {-1/2, 1}} is invertible (relatively easy to see as we can row reduce it to an upper triangular matrix quickly or just use the 2x2 det formula) this equations has only one solution. There you go. In case anyone forgot why it equals {{1}, {1}} , that's just the constant matrix from the 2 linear equations.
The butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker
The butcher is twice as old as they were when the baker was half as old as was the candlestick maker. The candlestick maker is twice as old as the butcher was when the baker was half as old as the butcher is now. Twelve years ago the baker was half as old as the butcher will be twelve years from now.
How old is each of them now?
Like usual have fun :soviet-heart: and remember to dm @Wmill the answer. I may not get back immediately today since I got something to do but I'll try.
im going to be honest guys, i dont remember the pig segments back when i watched this show as a kid

anyways, in some bloomer news, trans 16 year olds can get puberty blockers now in the UK under informed consent 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 :flag-trans-pride:
a huge :07: to all the trans people who fought in the courts to get this ruling
it USED to be possible, and then the TERFs got a court order to block it, and now trans rights activists fought to get it overturned

you’re just the most nerd

Hey, I'd say you're already winning comrade, don't be hard on yourself :meow-hug:
sometimes I just want to
Want to be hard on yourself? Look, to 'break character' for a moment, I completely understand. Self-doubt can be awful. I'm sorry.
Maurice you have to take me being mean :soviet-huff:
I was not having self-doubt or anything
Maurice you have to take me being mean
But I do. Should I be reacting different? :soviet-bottom:
there are more nerds than just you
:soviet-pout: But I want to be the nerd of the megaping people
maybe you could keep the problem from the last mega since it didn't last for more than 30 minutes

Heard a great Stalin anecdote I wanted to share.
One day, Kruschev was invited to dine with Stalin. When he arrived, he found Stalin devouring the entrails of a screaming, still-living political prisoner. Stalin attempted to say something to Kruschev, but the man's agonized shrieks were too loud. Without hesitation, Stalin bit into the man's jugular, spraying blood over the horrified Kruschev. As Kruschev stood there stunned, Stalin continued as if nothing had happened, blood dripping down his chin, "As I was saying, Nikusha, I am evil. The lesson you must learn is that communism is about being as evil as possible."
Really makes you think :thonk:

New post-COVID character unlocked in my life- guy who believes the coronavirus is a bioweapon created by the chinese to disrupt the US dollar and is now shilling for bitcoin
the Europeans have slowly been breaking with the Anglosphere over China. I absolutely think they are going to break into 2 diffrent blocs, which is ofc great for anti imperialists. Germany and France have both been very big on China, and sure they've cringe Uygur posted they're still anti communists, but their position is all optics and then on trade they love China. where the anglosphere of UK US Canada Australia and New Zealand have kicked the anti China shit into overdrive and genuinely want a war. and slowly these two factions within NATO are tearing one another apart
"The US has admitted that a drone strike in Kabul days before its military pullout killed 10 innocent people. A US Central Command investigation found that an aid worker and nine members of his family, including seven children, died in the 29 August strike."
I cannot stress this enough, death to America. chuds genuinely wonder why people hate America, they fucking kid themselves it's over your 'freedoms', like the freedom to die of a preventable disease, and not the fact you openly bomb 2 year old children and say it's to 'protect' the world
occupies a country for 20 years, bombing and shooting civilians knowing and indiscriminately
"but why do they hate us?????"
America moment right there fellasI love how these fucking scum then just say "oh shit yeah, my bad, sorry I bombed 7 fucking children, big L on my part". and that's it, that's all the 'justice' these people will ever get
sex stuff
is it viable to eat pussy while wearing lipstick? I guess lipstick definitionally has to be food-safe but that doesn't necessarily mean you want to clamp down on someone's head if they're wearing it. Googling this is impossible lol
I got three more "students" at work yesterday. I'm just going back to 1900 with these kids (and by kids I mean 19-25, yes you're all kids to me) and teaching (and correcting) all the things they didn't learn about labor history and why they didn't die in a coal mine at the ripe old age of 11.
