Hi Izzy.
I remember learning about the London dogs – Norwegian people fact from Snoopy’s Do you Know book or some similar book. If it were the Snoopy book, then that book was published in the 1970′s.
(Norwegians total about 5 million as of 2011-2012, so there must be about 5 million dogs in London: which is one dog for each 2-3 Londoners [my estimate - I think the London population is about 12-14 million]).
And the riddle was definitely a brain-stretcher!
How did the elder brother work that out?
It’s definitely a way to not get bored.
