It is impossible if you have to sell at least one every day and you can �t buy any.

No anitarobi. You have to solve the problem in only 5 days. |

It �s impossible if you have to sell at least 1 every day for 5 days. 5 is an odd number. Adding 5 odd numbers gives you an odd number not an equal (50 sheep). Maybe you can buy some sheep? |

How about selling 5 sheep twice a day? I think there must be a catch in it...
