Hi,

F+E=156
E+G=204
G+F=248

2(E+F+G)=608
E+F+G= 304

Difference between Fiona and Gregory =204 - 156 = 48
248 - 48= 200
200/2 = 100 (Fiona)
156 - 100 = 56 (Elaine)
204 - 56 = 148 (Gregory)
Total = 100 + 56 + 148 = 304

Because Elaine is the constant one… So any difference must be the difference betweeen Fiona and Gregory.

Thus 48 simply shows that Gregory has 48 bookmarks more than Fiona.
