    Bronze:
    1 x 24 persons 1/24
    2 x 12 persons 1/12
    3 x 8 persons 3/8
    4 x 6 persons 4/6
    The maximum people you can share with is 24, and the minimum people you can share with equally is 2 people.
    Silver: Sorry if Lara has 30 cherries or am I reading this wrong but she has eaten and shared 883 cherries so is the question correct am I taking 883 cherries from 30 or is this number incorrect ?

    Gold:
    4/8 + 4/8 equals 1
    4 eights + 4 eights = 1
    1/2 + 1/2 = 1
    1 half + 1 half equals 1

    Platinum:
    1/2 line is bigger than 1/3 line because 2 halves make 1, where as 3 thirds make 1 so 1/2 line is bigger.
