[ QUOTE ]
One of my favorites from long ago, I hope I get it right. I have purposefully changed the usual wording to prevent easy googling: A & B are integers greater than 1 and less than 100. Mr. Add knows (A+B) Mr. Multiply knows (A*B) Mr. Add says to Mr. Multiply, "You don't know A and B." Mr. Multiply says, "Now I do know A and B." Mr. Add says, "Now I do too." What are A & B? ~MagicMan [/ QUOTE ] A*B can't be prime, or else mr. multiply would know. thats where my ideas stopped. i also suspect that A*B must be less than 1600, as 1600 might be the largest number represented by two products of numbers between 1-100 (16*100 and 40*40). |
