100 Herbivores (Posted on 2002-06-10) Difficulty: 2 of 5
There are a total of 100 animals: cows, sheep and buffaloes. These 100 animals ate 100 bunches of grass.

Every cow ate 5 bunches, every buffalo ate 3 bunches and every sheep ate only 1/3 bunch.

How many cow, sheep and buffalo are there? You only know that there is at least one of every kind of animal.
