4 shepherds were watching over their flocks and they were commenting on how many sheep they each had.
If Alan had three more sheep, then he’d have one less sheep than Brian.
Whereas Dave has the same number as the other three shepherds put together.
If Charles had three less sheep, he’d have exactly treble the number of Alan.
If they were evenly distributed they’d each have eleven sheep.
How man sheep does Alan have?

Last week I bought a word processor small enough to fit in my pocket.
It can write in any language and also add, multiply, subtract, divide.
It has a delete facility that will correct any error made and no electricity or batteries are required to operate it.
Amazingly, it only cost me 25p. Why?
