Some children were seated around a large round table. They pass around a box of candy containing 25 pieces. Bob took the first piece. Each child takes a piece of candy as the box is passed around. Bob also gets the last piece, and he may have more than the first and last piece.
How many children could be seated around the table.
Now, I really don't get this...and I need some help to start....but I think there mightbe 18 children other than Bob....thats just a guess.

There is no good answer with the information you've given us. Since Bob got the first and last piece, then there must be a total of 24 children around the table. However, the directions stating that he "may have more than the first and last piece" could mean that there could be as few as three children.
