    wouldn’t it be six?

    She has two wolves plus two baby wolves

    Each baby wolf would also have two wolves.

      So 8? Her two inner wolves, the two baby wolves and their two wolves. 2+2+2*2=8

        Huh??? No it isn’t 8, the fuck?

        She has two babies, that is three wolves each made up of two wolves inside them: 3*2 or 2+2+2

        In your equation, you say 2 (mom) + 2(kid1) + 2(kid2) which has already taken care of the number of wolves (as each has two inside them) — but then you multiply this summation by two, why?

        I guess you’re splitting it uo differently but it still doesn’t make sense: you’re saying 2 (mom’s wolves) + 2 (kids) + (2 kids wolves) which covers everything because for each kid there is another wolf which you include in the 3rd 2 of your equation, but then you multiply it by two for some reason.

        Even if you were counting the host body as yet another wolf that brings it to 9 not 8.
