    I do have the same solution like Jorge Pardo wrote here. Just a simple math. :)

    6G +4B = 2200 pieces/4 hrs
    2G + 5B = 2200 pieces per 8 hrs
    B=25 pieces/hr
    G=75 pieces/hr

      From the calculation it seems that girls are better in putting jigsaw puzzles together than boys by 3 times. 1 girl is equal to 3 boys.

    Girls are three times better than the boys, putting in 75 pieces per hour versus 25 forthe boys.

    Girls place 75 pieces/hr each and boys place 25 pieces/hr each.
