One day, Father Bear, Mother Bear and Baby Bear ate honey. Initially their bowls held $120$, $80$ and $40$ spoonfuls, respectively.
- If only Father Bear had eaten from Mother Bear’s bowl, eating one third of his actual total consumption, then Baby Bear would have eaten half of what Mother Bear had left.
- If only Father Bear had eaten from his own bowl, eating his actual total consumption, then Mother Bear would have eaten half of what Father Bear had left.
- If only Mother Bear had eaten from Baby Bear’s bowl, eating one third of her actual total consumption, then Father Bear would have eaten what Baby Bear had left.
