You can't solve it. It's a con.

As jenstar says it's a con to make money. Note that the word "equally" does not appear in the question, so they are not talking about 25 / 5 = 5.

If you had 25 marbles, you could divide then (unequally) as follows:10, 8, 3, 3, 1 to pick one way at random from the very many ways that you could divide 25 (marbles) among 5 (children). So they may have in mind 10, 8, 3, 3, 1 as their answer! But the alternatives are numerous.

What if they had 26 grms of jelly to share (unequally) among five children. Now the solution they have in mind could be (in grms): 9.6, 8.1, 3.2, 2.7, 1.4!

See what I mean? Keep your money - and keep away from the phone!
