    It's an alternative representation to put the quotient to the right side.
    Here is the more familiar placement. The green (overlined) digits repeat forever.

    =)) thanks

    Dividend = abcdefgh

    Divisor = Y

    7Y have 3 digit

    => the first number of quotient must be 8 or 9. It's canot be 8 because: 

    Call Z= abcd - 8Y, Z have 2 digit

    10Z +e -7Y = 3 digit

    The third number of quitient( call it is n) x Y = 3 digit and the subtraction of nY get 2 digit ,ít impossible

    So we got 97809.

     

    We know 9Y >= 1000, 8Y<1000

    So Y =[112-124]

     

    I check and divinded is 12128316

     

  3. 4 light ones/48

    when 14(A) = 14(B)

    The remaining 20 coins = C

    A = 7 (A1) + 1(A2) + 6(A3)

    Compare (B+A1) and ( A2 + C )

    If .... = .....

    => have 2 light coins each side, in B(1) A1(1) C(2)

    =>  A2 +A3 = 7 heavy coins

     

    If .... >….

    A,B have 0 light coin ,

    Or B have 1 light coin, C have 2, A1 have 0

    => get 7 coins in A1

     

    If ....<….

    C have 0 light coins

    @aiemdao Hi, and welcome to the den. This might help your thinking:

      Reveal hidden contents

    If anyone has a red hat, then the other two would say their hat is one of two colors. But only BMAD made that statement. (So there are no red hats.) As you point out, that means she saw two yellow hats. So Rocdocmac and plasmid have the yellow hats. That makes BMAD's hat blue.

    So when you say R would never say "three colors" you're overlooking the case that he could see a blue hat and a yellow hat.

     

    I mean because their comment are sequent . So Rocdocmac know he dont have Red ( Plasmid say one of three ) , and he cannot have B too because if he have blue , Plasmid will know he have Red :v

    =>he already know he have Yellow
