More Math Puzzlers...

This one's pretty easy. I doubt anyone will get it wrong. We'll see, lol.

A candy shop owner let's the kids buy one more candy, with the wrappers from 5 candies. 20 neighborhood kids consumed 77 candies in 1 month.
These 20 kids combined their wrappers and set out to the candy store to cash 'em in for more candy.

What color is the oldest kids shoes?


No, I'm kidding. How many more candies can the kids get with their 77 wrappers?

15 to start. 3 more with those wrappers. 1 more with those and 2 left over from the beginning.

19 more pieces of candy.

Technically, I think it would not have been in keeping with the spirit of the shop's promotion, so I was going to be a stickler and stand my ground on 15, but I wasn't up for the debate that would have ensued. That would be like getting two pairs of shoes in a buy 1 get 1 free sale, and then going back and returning one pair for the price paid.

The shop owner could have stood his ground and denied the extra candy, but then a riot breaks out. Tables are flipped. Windows broken thru. Kids are detained. Jessy Jackson shows up in order to stay relevant, Trump protesters assemble, the National Guard is brought in.

Better to just give the kids the candy.

If the shop owner knew what's good for him he wouldnt give 20 kids a hard time, he'd toss 'em 1 extra so they'd all get one and keep all the customer's! Lol.

The other one I posted is harder. (I think, lol)
