    Edward and Sunpyo both have 1 more candy than Albert. Albert has 4 candies. Mr. Forrestal decided to take some candies from Edward, Albert, and Sunpyo. After Mr. Forrestal took their candies away, Edward, Albert, and Edward decided to share their candies together. But Mr. Forrestal came back to them and took Sunpyo and Edward's candy away; they ended up with 0 candies left. How many candies did Mr.Forrestal take from Edward, Albert, and Sunpyo?

    We like how your word problem is exact to the equation. What we see in the equation is exactly there in your word problem. Also, it was a good idea to put the names of the people in our school to add some humor into the word problem, so that it doesn't sound so boring.
    You could have simplified the names and changed them to variables so the word problem doesn't sound so repetitive, but it also seems too complicated. There's too many things happening at the same time, everything mentioned in a bundle, so you should break it into parts.

    This word problem used the numbers in the equation, the facts, with an easy-to-follow organization. The situation is easy to understand and analyze, due to simple additions and subtractions. One suggestion to fix your word problem would be the beginning. You stated, "Edward and Sunpyo both have 1 more candy thatn Albert." Even though this might be easy to comprehend, it might seem like adding Edward's and Sunpyo's candies equal one more candy than Albert. That would completely change the equation, so the problem could start off like "Edward has 1 more candy than Albert, and Sunpyo also has 1 more candy that Albert." This would be much clearer. Other than that, this problem gratifies rest of the requirements.

    A error in your problem: "Edward, Albert, and Edward decided to share their candies together." I think it should be Edward, Albert, and Sunpyo.

    The word problem was easy to understand. It was also easy to understand. However, the word problem quite hard, because there were too many names. I could have written the equation right, but it might have been a little confusing.
