theres not enough information to actually solve these like equations
whats more is the 3 mushroom "3m" and the 2 mushrooms "2m" and the apples "a" and the 4 apples "4a"

thats what i was trying at first but then i saw the second purple thing is missing a knob and how the heck would you quantify that

so then is everything either full or half, ie 2 or 1?

but that returns us to the problem of there being many possible solutions

where
m = mushroom
p = purple
a = apple
f = fish

puzzle one
2m + 2p = 11
af - m = 3
2ap + f - 10 - 2m = milk

?

theres infinite solutions... wtf and ive already spent 30 pointless minutes because a multitude of answers i plug in here could work

i guess i could count the purple knobs but would still run into the multiple solution issue. then theres the honeycomb in the future problem and no way you can count the bumps on that

okay i got the first two right and guessed randomly on the third just to check if i had the first two right which i did

the third is still a monster... hmm

3 * 10 + 4 - 31 = 3
going with this. i count 10 points on the star so crab would have to be 4. it does have 4 legs so why not
it couldnt be an 11 or 9 point star that wouldnt make as much sense... could the crab be 6 or 8, making it a mere 8 or 6 point star? doubtful?

4 + 31 - (3 * 20) + (4/2) - (20 * 2) + (10 * 12 this time?? i believe previous honeycombs were 14 and 11 and this has one more than the 11 soo) + (5 * 7) + (15 * 2)

35 - 60 + 8 - 40 + 120 + 35 + 30
= 128
wrong
122 was wrong
i think i did a 112 which was wrong

but why would i do that when i cna clearly count 10 points on the star...
