Name of the character: whymeblockedText of the answer: Every paladin got 9 mushrooms from Tsatidis.
Pennzoil had 11 when he returned. because he found 2.
Enlightened lost 2 of them so he returned with only 7 of the ones he got from Tsatidis.
Low Power got 9 and found 9 more which give's him a total of 18.
And last but not least Milady Winter also got 9 but lost half but 9
can't be put in half unless 4.5 counts.
My comments: answer is wrong and with no explanation about the way you had figured this numbers out .

Text of the answer: HI !
ok i will start as we know tsatidis dont cout so mushrooms was 45 on 4 persons Low Power (forword as  L ) Milady Winter (forword as M) Pennzoil (forword as P) Enlightened (forword as E )
So in end every of them  had   X mushrooms so before they came home situation was
L had  X mushrooms  P had X-2 mushrooms  E had X+2 mushrooms and M 2X mushrooms. from that we can make this :
X+X-2+X+2+2X = 45
5X = 45
X = 9 count  of mushrooms they had when they came home so in begin tsatidis gave  
L 9 mushrooms E 11 mushrooms  P 7 mushrooms and M 18 mushrooms !!!  

:wink:

Text of the answer: tsatidis got : (x1)+(x2)+(x3)+(x4)=45 (1)
Pennzoil got from tsa: (x1) mush and in the end he had (x1)+2
Enl got from tsatidis (x2) mush and in the end he got (x2)-2
Low Power got fro tsatidis (x3) mush and in the end he had 2(x3)
you got from tsa (x4) mush and in the end u had (x4)/2
so this means that :
(x1)+2=(x2)-2=2(x3)=(x4)/2   <=>2(x1)+4=2(x2)-4=4(x3)=(x4)
so we express now x1,x2,x3 relative to x4
x1=((x4)-4)/2
x2=((x4)+4)/2
x3=(x4)/4
x4=x4
and we replace them in relation (1) wich results in
((x4)-4)/2+((x4)+4)/2+(x4)/4+x4=45 =>
2(x4)-8+2(x4)+8+x4+4(x4)=180=>
9(x4)=180 =>
(x4)=20; (x1)=8; (x2)=12; (x3)=5 (this is how much each got from tsatidis)
and in the end they all had 10 mushrooms
My comments: answer is right with nice explanation given!
