Many years ago, a cruise liner sank in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
The survivors luckily landed on a remote desert island. There was enough food for the 135 people to last four weeks.
Nine days later a rescue ship appeared, unluckily this ship also sank, leaving an additional 36 people stranded on the island to now share the original rationed food.
The food obviously had to be re-rationed, everyone was now on three-quarters of the original ration, so how many days in total would the food last for, from the day of the original sinking?
__________
29 days.
Originally there was enough food for 135 people for 28 days, which totals 3780 rations. After 9 days, 1215 rations had been eaten. Therefore there were now 2565 rations left for 171 people, which would last for another 20 days at three-quarter ration per person. Which is 29 days in total from the original sinking.

--------------------
2565 meals = 3,420 meals at 75%
3,420 meals / 171 people = 20 days
and we can't forget the frist 9 days, giving us a total of 29 days
29 days. When the second ship sank it left 19 days of rats for 135 people, or 2565 rations. At 3/4 rats there are now 3420 rats to be divided by 171 people, or 20 days, plus the original 9 is 29.Quote:

Oh. We were referring to "rations", weren't we? https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
Not really, anyways, I prefer my rats like sushi, nice and raw!Quote:

The third digit is twice the first digit.

The fifth digit is the difference between the first digit and the fourth digit.
