Answer:
there are 22 turtles in the circle
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told all the turtles are evenly spaced and that 6th turtle is opposite the 17th one.
Now, if we count 6, 7, 8, up to 17, we'll get 12 turtles.
Now, since 6th and 17th are opposite to each other, then 10 turtles are between them. so the same number of turtles should stand in other side too. Thus, there are 10 turtles, evenly spaced, on either side of 6 and 17, which
are at opposite ends of a diameter.
Of the 10 turtles on the other side, we know there is 1,2,3,4,5.
That leaves 5 more and they are greater than 17, starting
with 18, we go 18,19,20,21,22
Thus, there are 22 turtles in the circle
