Ans:3672
Let G,B d no of gals n boys respectively.
so G+B=612
out of them only G/2 gals and 3B/4 boys are allowed to take d sweets.
Each gal gets 12 sweets.
Each boy gets 8 sweets
So total sweets required are
12*G/2+8*3B/4=6G+6B
=6(G+B)
=6*612
=3672
So old gentleman have to buy 3672 sweets

Total Children = 612
let no of girls = X
so no of Boys = 612 - X

as half of girls and 3 quarter of boys got sweets

so total sweets
[{(1/2)X * 12} + {(3/4)(612-x)} ]
= 6X + 3672 - 6X
= 3672.

My friend and I were recently discussing about the ubiquitousness of technology in our daily lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.

I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory gets cheaper, the possibility of transferring our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about almost every day.
