What is it with the size of carrots now?

You're not looking to probe anything with those, are you ? :confused:

How many bags are used?

---

61 bags. Smallest number, other than one, that evenly divides into 28,121.

Correct. 3 points.

Variants such as snake/whale or cow/dog were allowed for, but moth or worm couldn't make it (insects).

Well deserved too, as he came up with many on my list.

Why not - let's do one more today.


What does this equation simplify to?


(x - a) * (x - b) * (x - c) * ... * (x - z) = ?



__________
0. When (x - x) is reached, the entire result is multiplied by o.
