Record your time.

A flock of humming birds are trying to perch on lotus flowers in a pond. If 2 humming birds perch on 1 lotus flower, there will be 1 flower left unoccupied. If 1 humming bird perches on 1 flower, there will be 1 bird left without a flower to perch on. How many flowers and birds are in the pond?

Honestly tell us how long it takes you to get your answer?

Enjoy!
