What color are your eyes? Turns out 6 to 11 people out of every 1,000 have two *different* color eyes! But it happens a lot more for our furry friends. White cats always have one eye that’s blue. Among dogs, many huskies have different-colored eyes, but always one blue, one brown. And two-color-eye horses always have one brown eye, while the other is blue, gray or white. But since animals don’t use mirrors, they don’t even know they have two colors!
Wee ones: If you have 2 blue eyes and your cat has 1 blue eye, how many blue eyes do you have together?
Little kids: If your dogsled is being pulled by 6 odd-eyed huskies, how many blue eyes do they have all together? Bonus: How many eyes do they have in total?
Big kids: If the stable has 18 horses and half have 2 brown eyes while the rest have just 1 brown eye, how many brown eyes do they have? Bonus: Only 1/20 of all cats are white, and only about 1/2 of those are odd-eyed. So out of 80 cats, how many of them should be white cats with different colored eyes?
Answers:
Wee ones: 3 blue eyes.
Little kids: 6 blue eyes, since huskies always have 1 blue eye. Bonus: 12 eyes.
Big kids: 27 brown eyes, since 9 of the horses have 2 brown eyes, 9 have just 1. Bonus: Just 2, since only 4 of the 80 are white to begin with.
