  1. Boys are so way better than girls.

  2. 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

  3. I do not see if is a match among boys Vs girls!

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

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

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