If you have nine pigs, and 4 pigpens, and you have to have an odd number in each pigpen, how do you do it?

First put 1 pig in the first pigpen, build the pigpen around it, put four in that one, build the pigpen around that one, put two in that one, and build the final pigpen around that one, and put two in that one.

Did I do this wrong?

Amazing MS paint diagram I made

The None of the pig pens have an odd number of pigs in them, if you do it the way you said to do it.

If you do it this way, you will have 1 pig in the first pen, 4 in the second, 2 in the third, and 2 in the fourth. I'm sure everyone knows 2 and 4 are even numbers. If you're trying to say that each new pen (pen #2,3,4) is including the pigs in the pens inside it, that's wrong, isn't it? They are fenced off, so you can't (or shouldn't) include the other pigs as "inside" the pen. Pen 2 is it's own pen. It's closed off from pen 1, and doesn't include that pig.

Jibily, the pigpens include all pigs within them- it doesn't matter if there are other pigpens inside the pigpens
