conversations.value: I would love to understand how to solve this problem: In preparation for the church fundraiser, Julia bakes one less than 5 cakes per day for 6 days.  Unfortunately, every other day, Julia's brother, Clifford, sneaks into Julia's house and eats one of Julia's cakes.  At the end of 6 days, how many cakes does Julia have remaining?
  Can you explain?
conversations.from: assistant
conversations.value: Julia baked one less than 5 cakes per day, or 5-1=4 cakes per day.
  For 6 days, Julia baked 4 cakes per day, for a total of 4*6=24 cakes.
  Over 6 days, every other day, Clifford sneaks into Julia's house and eats one of Julia's cakes resulting in disappearance of 6/2=3 cakes.
  At the end of 6 days, Julia has 24-3=21 cakes remaining.
