Problem

After a circus came back from its country-wide tour, relatives of the animal tamer asked him questions about which animals travelled with the circus.

“Where there tigers?”

“Yes, in fact, there were seven times more tigers than non-tigers.”

“What about monkeys?”

“Yes, there were seven times less monkeys than non-monkeys.”

“Where there any lions?”

What is the answer he gave to this last question?
