jpd said: This one's a bit harder :-) As Fitz said, "two packs of sausages constitutes one item", so i don't think this has a solution.I buy four items in a supermarker. Both the sum and product of their values is £7.11. What are their individual values? | ||

Bored Lilie said: If so, I make it 7..? I need to do some real work, and/or get a life :) If all of the relations have to be there, then I get 7 as well.Man 1 and Woman 2 are married, and have a son, Man 3 who marries Woman 4. Man 3 and Woman 4 have 3 children - 2 girls, 5 and 6 and a boy, 7. Man 1 is a grandfather to 5,6&7 (1 grandfather) Woman 2 is grandmother to 5,6&7 (1 grandmother) Man 1 is the father of 3. Man 3 is father of 5,6&7 (2 fathers) Woman 2 is the mother of 3, Woman 4 is mother of 5,6&7 (2 mothers) 3 is the child of 1&2, 5,6&7 are the children of 3&4 (4 children) 5,6&7 are grandchildren of 1&2 (3 grandchildren) 5 is the brother of 6&7 (1 brother) 6&7 are the sisters of 5 (2 sisters) 3 is the son of 1&2, 5 is the son of 3&4 (2 sons) 6&7 are the daughers of 3&4 (2 daughters) 4's mother-in-law is 2 (1 mother-in-law) 4's father-in-law is 1 (1 father-in-law) 4 is the daughter-in-law of 1&2 (1 daughter-in-law). That's all of the requirements met. Can it be done in a better way? If you actually had 23 people, all related closely, then presumably, you'd have more than the required number in each category. There must be a maximum number of closely related people..... | ||
