My cousin Pat was also at the party. Pat brought a collection of 36 dolls. She gave us some clues about the dolls: "Some of them are Barbies; in fact, half of the female dolls are Barbies. Half of the Cabbage Patch dolls are female. There are as many females that are not Barbies or Cabbage Patch dolls as there are Cabbage Patch dolls. Half of the dolls are not female. All of the dolls except two (which I found at a garage sale and whose gender I found it impossible to determine) are either male or female. One of those two genderless dolls is a Cabbage Patch doll." How many male, non-Cabbage Patch dolls are there?
