Re: Venn Diagrams

I made one for #16 and started on the other one, but it turned out more complicated than I thought so I'll have to have a go at it later.

Click on image to enlarge.
Note colored numbers.
That may help you.
Work from the center to the flower petals, and then
to the biggest parts.
The top line is boys, the bottom line is girls.
