Hats+Jumpers=280
J= Jumpers at the start
H=Hats at the start
H+J=280
J-109=H x 80/100
J=280-H
J-109=H x 80/100
280-H-109=H x 80/100
171-H=H x 80/100
171-H=H x 4/5
171=H x 4/5 +H
171=H x 9/5
171 / 9/5= H
H=171 x 5/9
171 x 5=855
855/9=99
H=99
There were 99 hats at the beginning

WHAT IS IT!?!?
THIS IS HARDER THAN THE WHITE RABBIT PUZZLE!!!
J+H=280
J-109=0.8H
J=280-H
280-H+109=0.8H
171-H=0.8H
171 = 1.8 H
171=9/5H
171/9=19
19*5=95
H=95
Checking:
280-95=185=J
185-109=76=0.8H=0.8(95)
0.8(95)=4/5(95)
95/5=19
19*4=76
185-109=0.8(95)
H=95
You must be very smart to understand what this means.
Well done Adi I think you are correct.
Even I tried it for ten minutes and was still stumped.
I am still trying to figure it out for 15 mins now.
