Not equal but fair (Posted on 2024-02-12) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Certain millionaire, approaching his 100th birthday, gave the following instructions to his accountant:

"I would like to donate exactly $100,000 to my 4 grandchildren with the following constraints:
Dana, the youngest, at least 32,000,
Anita, the oldest , at most 20,000 and
the twins Bob and Benny equal amounts between the girls' amounts .
All amounts should be in round thousands. Zero, of course, excluded.

Please show me all possible distributions and I will make the final decision."

How many possible arrangements are there?
