Tricky Puzzles

There are 8 cookies. A kid had 2, a adult had 3, and some else liked cookies he had 3. And someone who really liked cookies had 8.

How is that correct?

EDIT: 20 pages! (I knew this was going to happen.)

There aren't enough equations to figure that out.

There are eight cookies, not 'is' eight cookies.

@Sammy_P: They all liked cookies, thus they add up to 8 as one.

I'm too lazy to solve Nobody's equations right now.

That's what I thought too, but; if you talk about someone, doesn't that mean it's one and the same person?

A kid, an adult, and some else are 3 different persons though?

Good point.

Maybe the guy stole all the cookies!

They had the cookies, but ate them all. The 8 that there is are (lol, the that there is are) not yet consumed.

WRONG.

I invent in this topic: HHints!

HHints you start with 3. HHints give you a hint of a tricky puzzle. You can gain hhints by answering a question with no hhints. (Also counts as if you have 0 hhints.)

So everyone has 3 Hhints.

"A kid had 2, a adult had 3, and some else liked cookies he had 3. " means that that group together had eight.

"And someone who really liked cookies had 8."- Self explanatory

There are 16 cookies together?
