Question: Steven, Stephanie, and Sonya went ice skating. Steven only fell down 3 times, but Stephanie had 13 more falls than Steven. If Sonya fell down 2 times less than half the number of times Stephanie fell, how many times did Sonya fall?
Answer: Stephanie fell 13 + 3 = 16 times. Half the number of times Stephanie fell is 16 / 2 = 8 times. Sonya fell down 8 - 2 = 6 times. The answer is 6.

Q: There are six more white birds next to a cage than grey birds in the cage. If the number of grey birds in the cage is 40, and after ten minutes, half of the birds in the cage are freed and fly away, calculate the total number of birds remaining.
A: If the number of grey birds is 40, there are 40 + 6 = 46 white birds near the cage. When half of the grey birds fly away, the number that remains is 1 / 2 * 40 = 20. The total number of birds is 20 + 46 = 66 in and next to the cage. The answer is 66.
Question: The difference between the number of boys and girls in a tree planting event is 400. If there are 600 boys at the event, and the number of girls is more than the number of boys, what's 60% of the total number of boys and girls at the event?
Answer: If there are 600 boys at the event, and the difference between boys and girls is 400, there are 600 + 400 = 1000 girls. The total number of boys and girls at the event is 1000 + 600 = 1600. 60% of the total number of boys and girls at the event is 60 / 100 * 1600 = 960. The answer is 960.
[Question]James hurt himself exercising. The pain subsided after 3 days, but he knew that the injury would take at least 5 times that long to fully heal. After that, he wanted to wait another 3 days before he started working out again. If he wants to wait 3 weeks after that to start lifting heavy again, how long until he can lift heavy again?
[Answer]The injury would be fully healed after 3 * 5 = 15 days. So he would start exercising again in 15 + 3 = 18 days. He would then wait for 3 * 7 = 21 more days to start lifting heavy again. That means he needs to wait 18 + 21 = 39 days. The answer is 39.
[Question]Hector purchased a container of gumballs. He gave 4 to Todd, then he gave twice as many as he had given Todd to Alisha, and then he gave 5 less than four times as many to Bobby as he had given to Alisha. If Hector had 6 gumballs remaining, what is the total number of gumballs that Hector purchased?
[Answer]
Hector gave to Alisha twice as many as he had given Todd, for a total of 4 * 2 = 8 gumballs,. Hector gave 5 less than four times as many to Bobby as he had given to Alisha, or a total of (8 * 4) - 5 = 27 gumballs. If Hector had 6 gumballs remaining, he originally purchased 4 + 8 + 27 + 6 = 45 gumballs. The answer is 45.
