Since there are 36 eyes and all the animals have 2 eyes, there are 18 animals total. Fish have no legs. Since there are 10 shells, the combined number of turtles and snails = 10. This means that there are 8 fish. The ten shelled animals share 16 legs. How can these 10 animals share these 16 legs, some with 4 and others with one?
