Rep Power: 3 | Re: Puzzle Contest-142 1) Above answer is unfair becoz other digits are being used in power. Better answer is (sqrt(2/.2))! where ! is factorial, .2 is actually .2 with bar on its head, which means 0.222222222222222 which is equal to2/9. 2) There cannot exist a number such that all amounts greater than this number can be paid using a combination of these three currency notes becoz, prime numbers are infinite. Inotehr words, if one says G is teh req number, I can find a, such that, c= a*6*9*20+1 >G and c can obviously not be paid using the combination of 6,9,20 |
