Feeding Foxes

  1. Meal times are hard with four hungry cubs, especially when they all want to be first. How many different ways can Lisa line up Dasha, Masha, Sasha and Boris at lunchtime?
  2. To make her life easier, the twins, Dasha and Masha said ‘Mum, feed us together, that will make the job twice as simple!’ Were they right?
  3. As their Easter treat, Lisa cooked them two helpings of goose, and two helpings of chicken. How many different ways could she serve the meals to the four cubs?
  4. And if she had to give the twins the same, even if they didn’t mind whether chicken or goose, that left her very few options. How many?
