Problem
Buffalo Shuffle-o is a card game in which all the cards are distributed evenly among all players at the start of the game. When Annika and 
of her friends play Buffalo Shuffle-o, each player is dealt 
cards. Suppose 
more friends join the next game. How many cards will be dealt to each player?
Solution 1
We start with Annika and of her friends playing, meaning that there are 
players. This must mean that there is a total of 
cards. If more players joined, there would be 
players, and since the cards need to be split evenly, this would mean that each player gets 
cards.
