3 points, even of the explanation is lacking.

It stands to reason that you need to know the why to get this answer. ;)

That carrier will then use the last days provision to return to the villiage. The second carrier and explorer will proceed another day, at the end leaving them each with 3 days provisions. The carrier will then give one days provisions to the explorer, bringing him back up to 4 days worth. The carrier will then return to the villiage on the remaining two days of food and water. The explorer will then have enough provisions to make the rest of the trip on his own.

I'll accept this for 3 points.

Would you rather a crocodile attack you or an alligator?



___________
Most would rather the crocodile attack the alligator.

out of all the posibilities. to multiply up to 36.

There are really only a few possibilities
Since the youngest wears shorts.. 1 year old is kinda out of the question

2-3-6 and 2-2-9 are the only ones that fit that criteria

Older buildings and many newer ones do not have a floor 13 due to superstition.. so 2-2-9 is out of the question..

that leaves 2-3-6 as the final answer

Complete the series.

1/1

3/2

7/5

17/12

41/29

?

___________
99/70: each successive term better approximates the square root of two and is formed as (a + 2b) / (a + b).

2-3-6 and 2-2-9

Not needed, but thanks.

Generations to come will not have to bash their heads against a wall trying to figure it out. :p
