Last vacation, my cousin came over to stay at my home. We made the most of her stay at my place... and I even earned a few chocolates.
Everyday, we would play a game of chess. Whoever lost the game owed a chocolate to the other. After the last game we played (that was the day she was to leave), we counted the number of games each of us had won and lost. Wow! I had won more than her. So, she handed me 22 chocolates... though she herself was the winner in 8 games. How many days did my cousin spend at my place?

She stayed with you for 38 days. 8 days she won and 30 days she lost. so she owed 30 chocolates to you and u owed 8 chocos. 30 - 8 = 22 and that's what she gave u.

I would 30 days!!

I would say she stayed for 30 days as 22 and 8 add up to 30.
