jasen's post in Bar puzzle was marked as the answer
To avoid the customers' disappointement, the bartender comes up with a solution.
He gives each man a glass of cocktail, and explains :
If each letter represents a digit, we can write it like this :
1 pepsi + 1 cocacola = 1 cocktail -> 1 * 40497 + 26212681 = 26253178
2 pepsi + 1 cocacola = 1 cocktail -> 2 * 27264 + 58535813 = 58590341
3 pepsi + 1 cocacola = 1 cocktail -> 3 * 20239 + 54515481 = 54576198
4 pepsi + 1 cocacola = 1 cocktail -> 4 * 18153 + 64606420 = 64679032
5 pepsi + 1 cocacola = 1 cocktail -> 5 * 12149 + 73707350 = 73768095

jasen's post in SBT Fraction was marked as the answer
modified Stern-Brocot Tree to third sequence.
3rd sequence 34/55 157/254 123/199 212/343 89/144 233/377 144/233 199/322 55/89
since it use fibbonaci number, which is relatively prime, so the fraction is already in simple form.
so there is no fraction with 55<b<89
