25 counters are shared equally by 10 ppl, how many counters per person
If you're making an outline of a square, then 16 counters. You have the 4 corner counters, each shared by 2 sides and then in between the corner counters there are 3 counters on each of the 4 sides (4*3 = 12). If you're filling the inside of the square with counters, then you have 5 rows of 5 = 25 counters.
Let the number of Yellow counters you already have is Y Let the number of non-yellow counters you already have is Z Then the current ratio of Yellow counters to the total counters is Y : Y + Z Let the number of Blue counters you add be B After they have been added, the ratio of Yellow counters to the total counters is Y : Y + Z + B This is 1 : 6 Thus Y = 1 and Y + Z + B = 6 → Z + B = 5 Which means that for the Yellow counters you have you will have five times as many counters made up of whatever non-Yellow counters you originally had plus the Blue counters you added. Thus to find out how many Blue counters to add, take the number of Yellow counters, multiply it by 5 and subtract the number of non yellow counters you originally had. examples: You had 6 Yellow counters Add 6 × 5 - 0 = 30 Blue counters Which gives you 6 Yellow and 30 Blue counters → ratio Yellow : total counters = 6 : 30 + 6 = 6 : 36 = 1 : 6 You had 4 Yellow counters and 6 Red counters Add 4 × 5 - 6 = 14 Blue counters Which gives you 4 Yellow counters, 6 Red counters and 14 Blue counters → ratio Yellow : total counters = 4 : 6 + 14 + 4 = 4 : 24 = 1 : 6 You had 4 Yellow Counters, 2 Blue counters and 3 Red counters Add 4 × 5 - (2 + 3) = 15 Blue counters Which gives you 4 Yellow counters, 3 Red counters and 2 + 15 = 17 Blue counters → ratio Yellow : total counters = 4 : 3 + 17 + 4 = 4 : 24 = 1 : 6
The back row of squares on a draughts board is called a crown-head.

Checkers (in the UK and other countries outside of the US spelled usually chequers) are coloured squares in a pattern of alternating light and dark squares, as in a checkerboard or chess board. It is also the name of a game played on such a board (customarily 8 squares by 8) also known in the UK as draughts, using flat discs which are also called checkers.
