0 Guest Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Make sence?? It makes perfect sense. Your original post, however, does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) Well, the conditions on the problem are different than what is in the OP, which changes the result completely. using the same letters and applying to the OP. We automatically know that a = 12, and b = 11. So already just adding them together at the end gives 23. (and we haven't even added in C yet (which could be 0, since the OP doesn't mention there are any clear days) This contradicts the statement in the OP that it rained on 13 days though. Bring on the paradox. Edited October 25, 2008 by Noct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 The OP was written incorrectly. It said there were twelve rainy mornings and eleven rainy afternoons. The other problem says twelve fine mornings and eleven fine afternoons. This changes a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I think the whole solution changes when you change the original OP, so... Is this one of those cases??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Faizaan Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 going back to the original question... there could be, however an infinite amount of vacation days ...which is something that i personaly would love and enjoy beyond thought.
