Let's analyze the clues to determine how many cherries Jake topped his cake with.
The total options for the number of cherries are:
- Jake: ?
- Lily: ?
- Kate: ?
- Amy: ?
With the values of cherries being 1, 2, 3, and 4, we need to establish who had which number.
Possible Assignments:
- If Jake had 1 cherry, then the others must have 2, 3, and 4 cherries.
- If Jake had 2 cherries, then the others must have 1, 3, and 4 cherries.
- If Jake had 3 cherries, then the others must have 1, 2, and 4 cherries.
- If Jake had 4 cherries, then the others must have 1, 2, and 3 cherries.
