The Abbots Puzzle | Python Fiddle

#110.â€”THE ABBOT'S PUZZLE. 
#
#The first English puzzlist whose name has come down to us 
#was a Yorkshireman no other than Alcuin, Abbot of Canterbury 
#(A.D. 735-804). Here is a little puzzle from his works, 
#which is at least interesting on account of its antiquity. 
#"If 100 bushels of corn were distributed among 100 people in 
#such a manner that each man received three bushels, each woman 
#two, and each child half a bushel, how many men, women, and 
#children were there?" Now, there are six different correct 
#answers, if we exclude a case where there would be no women. 
#But let us say that there were just five times as many women 
#as men, then what is the correct solution?

#set maximum number for man woman and child
m=range(1,34)
w=range(1,50)
c=range(1,200)
answer=[]
for m1 in m:
    for w1 in w:
        for c1 in c:
            if  3*m1 + 2*w1 + 0.5*c1==100 and 5*m1==w1 and m1+w1+c1==100:
                answer.append(m1)
                answer.append(w1)
                print "the number of men were %d" % (m1)
                print "the number of women were %d" %(w1)
                print "the number of children were %d" %(c1)
                answer.append(c1)
