Presuming that you're correct, please explain as their and your answer makes no sense to me... Perhaps because it's Saturday and my brain is turned off or perhaps just because... :duh:

Well, 1/4 were redheads and 1/2 were brunettes, which leaves 1/4 which are blondes.
Since we already know that this quarter =10, we can say that the total number is 4 times that

Am I right?

Yes you are

But where does it mention that the 10 blondes = ¼ ? :confused:

Simple math ... 1/4 + 1/2 = 3/4 ... Assuming we don't have anyone with black hair, the remainder must equal 1/4
And they tell you that there are 10 blondes.

Never mind ... it is Saturday :cheeky:
