Hhhmmmmm .... Let's see -
Four tickets divided by twelve days means you have to sell 1/3 of a ticket each day. That means Fred gets to ride from Antonito to Toltec Siding, Sally gets to ride from Toltec Siding to Osier and back, and Ralph gets to ride from Toltec siding to Antonito. I sure hope there's an accommodating Chaser or two willing to give Ralph and Sally a ride from Antonito to Toltec Siding, and to haul Sally and Fred back to Antonito ...

p.s. It might be easier to sell one whole ticket every three days. But today is nearly gone, so that means - starting tomorrow - you have to sell 4/11 of a ticket each day. Figuring out the milage per ticket-holder on that one - much less arranging their transportation - is gonna be tough, John. Are you sure you're up to it??
