🔴 PROBLEM:
60 animals
(指题干)
"60 animals... but 194 legs."
"No blood. No injuries...
Just a... mathematical mystery."
"Let’s figure it out. But let’s not... rush."

🐔 Segment 2：荒唐假设（All Chickens）
Assume: All are chickens
→ 60 × 2 = 120 legs
→ Reality: 194
→ Gap = 74
🎙️口播（带停顿）：
"Let’s assume… every animal... is a chicken.
Even the one... that clearly barks."
"60 × 2 = 120 legs...
But reality gives us... 194."
"We’re short by... 74 legs.
That’s… a lot of limbs."
________________________________________
🐕 Segment 3：Reasoning Through the Gap
🐔 → 🐕 = +2 legs
Gap = 74
Each dog adds +2 legs
74 ÷ 2 = 37 dogs
60 - 37 = 23 chickens ✅
🎙️口播：
"So... where did those extra 74 legs come from?"
"Every time we replace... a chicken with a dog...
We gain 2 extra legs."
"So...
How many dogs... does it take... to gain 74 legs?"
"74 ÷ 2 = 37 dogs.
That leaves us with 23 chickens."
"Total? 37 + 23 = 60.
We’re back to balance."
🎭 幽默：
"That’s a lot of barking.
Or maybe... half-leg dogs? Not on this farm."
🧠 金句：
"Total difference ÷ per-unit gain = number of substitutions."
________________________________________
✅ Segment 4：验证闭环
Dogs: 37 × 4 = 148
Chickens: 23 × 2 = 46
Total: 194 ✅
🎙️口播：
"Let’s verify...
Dogs: 37 × 4 = 148...
Chickens: 23 × 2 = 46...
Total: 194."
"Boom. Verified.
From a ridiculous guess."

🔁 Segment 5：反向路径（假设全是狗）
🎙️口播：
"Alright... so assuming they’re all chickens gave us the right answer."
"But what if... we go in the other direction?"
"Let’s assume... every animal is a dog.
Just a pack of 60 dogs... running around."
📐 推导：
60 × 4 = 240 legs (if all dogs)
But reality only gave us 194 legs.
Overshoot = 46 legs
🎙️口播：
"Now we’re 46 legs over... too many!
That’s some chunky math."
"What saves legs? Chickens. They only have 2."
"46 ÷ 2 = 23 chickens.
So... 60 - 23 = 37 dogs. ✅"
🎭 幽默：
"Good thing it wasn’t 60 dogs.
That’d be a noisy farm... and one with a serious dog food bill."
🎯 教学句：
"Two wrong assumptions. One same answer.
That’s not a mistake. That’s a method."

📎 Segment 5.5 — The Power of Assumption（代数法 + 彩蛋延伸）
🎙️口播：
"Alright... we’ve solved the problem with chickens. Then with dogs."
"Let’s try a third way — using algebra."
🧮 方程解法：
Let x = number of dogs
Then chickens = 60 - x
Equation: 4x + 2(60 - x) = 194
→ 4x + 120 - 2x = 194
→ 2x = 74
→ x = 37 dogs ✅
🎙️口播：
"Same answer. Different route.
That’s the power of algebra."
________________________________________
🎙️口播（彩蛋挑战节奏）：
"But just before we wrap up — I’ve got a challenge for you."
"There are two more ways to solve this.
But they’re weird... and sneaky."
"What if you assume... every leg is a dog leg?
Or... every leg is a chicken leg?"
"I won’t solve them for you.
That’s your bonus puzzle today."
🧩 彩蛋提示（板书留空）：
• If all 194 legs came from dogs, how many heads are missing?
• If all 194 legs came from chickens, how many heads did you overcount?
🎯 引导结束：
"If you can explain either of those...
you’ve officially unlocked Hypothetical Thinking Level 2."
"Leave your logic below.
I’ll be watching."
🧠 金句（逐句沉思）：
"Assumptions... aren’t supposed to be correct.
They’re supposed to be... correctable."
"One problem. Five paths. One truth."
"Guess wrong. Think right. Land true."

You walk into a farm. Chickens clucking, dogs barking. And someone gives you this problem: There are 60 animals in a yard. Some are chickens, some are dogs. Together, they have 194 legs. How many chickens and how many dogs are there? Let's figure it out, but let's not rush.
Let's assume every animal is a chicken. Even the ones that clearly bark. If all 60 animals were chickens, they would have 60 times 2, which equals 120 legs. But reality gives us 194 legs. We're short by 74 legs. That's a lot of limbs.
So, where did those extra 74 legs come from? Every time we replace a chicken with a dog, we gain 2 extra legs. So, how many dogs does it take to gain 74 legs? 74 divided by 2 equals 37 dogs. That leaves us with 23 chickens. Total? 37 plus 23 equals 60. We're back to balance. That's a lot of barking.
Let's verify our solution. Dogs: 37 times 4 equals 148 legs. Chickens: 23 times 2 equals 46 legs. Total: 148 plus 46 equals 194 legs. Boom! Verified. From a ridiculous guess, we've arrived at the correct answer. This demonstrates the power of hypothetical reasoning.
Let's summarize what we've learned. We had a farm with 60 animals - chickens and dogs - with a total of 194 legs. Chickens have 2 legs each, while dogs have 4 legs each. Using hypothetical reasoning, we first assumed all animals were chickens, which would give us 120 legs. The gap of 74 legs told us we needed 37 dogs, since each dog adds 2 extra legs compared to a chicken. This left us with 23 chickens. Our final answer: 37 dogs and 23 chickens. This problem demonstrates how making an initial assumption, even if incorrect, can lead us to the right solution through logical adjustments.
