conversations.value: James needs to get more toys for his doggie shelter. Each dog needs one toy. James currently has 4 toys on hand for 4 dogs, but there are 8 more dogs in the shelter now. After buying the toys, he went back to see that there are twice as many more dogs than when he left so he had to buy some more toys. When James came back yet again, 3 dogs were gone so he no longer needed those toys. How many toys in total does James need?
  Give me a solution to this problem

conversations.value: James has 4+8=12 toys.
  There were 12*2=24 dogs.
  James needed to buy 24-12=12 more toys.
  There are 36 total toys.
  36-3=33 toys are now needed.
