Reminiscences increased 110 percent. If the pervious number of reminiscences was 840, what was the new number of reminiscences?

Eleven (11) Animals

Based on the above given information, it can be construed that that Eleven (11) animals are in the forest.

The first mentioned animal is Sparkles the Unicorn (Animal 1) who probably might be hungry and, might have searched through the forest to get the nice big juicy apple.

She might have dodged several wild predating animals just for luck to smile on her through the discovery of a big juice apple. She plucks it, and starts eating. A nearby lurking, cunning monkey (Animal 2), snatches the fruit from Sparkles the Unicorn, due to her carelessness, and as she proceed to retrieve the fruit, she discovered that that wasn’t the only monkey around. She sees eighteen (18) pairs of eyes which means, there are nine (9) other animals i.e. 18 pairs of eyes divided by 2 (18/2 = 9) are also in the forest.

Therefore:

Animal 1 + Animal 2 + 9 other Animals = 11 Animals
