From what I've crunched (using the above key for rabbit cat and dog):

R+2C=D

That's as far as I got.
How did you work it out ron?

The answer is clearly an unspecified amount of flying fur when the animals finally work out what's reflected in the glass.

you can work it out without solving for the individual animal weights

R+C=10
R+D=20
C+D=24

(R+D)-(C+D)=R-C=-4
R-C=-4
R+C=10
(R-C)+(R+C)=2R= -4+10=6
R=3

3+C=10
C=10-3
C=7

D=20-R=20-3
D=17

R+C+D=27

less chance of making a mistake

R+C=10
R+D=20
C+D=24

add all equations together

R+C+R+D+C+D=10+20+24
2R+2C+2D=54

divide by 2

R+C+D=27

A tennis championship is played on a knock-out basis, i.e. a player is out of the tournament when he loses a match.

if the championship starts with 100 players, how many games are played?
