Then why do you disagree with Lemonjello in the recent pages? If he has the same solution (which, as much as I've read, he doesn't) you shouldn't be arguing with him.

Do you agree?
Otherwise, I'll have to assume your 10 and there is no reason to argue with you.
P.s. Probably even for a 10-year-old this problem should be explainable.

i give the same solution as fx and lemmonjelly. 😉

Originally posted by eldragonflyIf that's so, than why don't you let me try? You say my solution completely wrong but then again you don't want to hear my explanation why I considered that solution superior over yours.
you haven't done so yet, your absurd ruminations and false conjectures are laughable.

Originally posted by eldragonflyHow many others? 1? 2? And how many how tried to show that your reasoning is wrong? 5? 6? Including the OP, whose intended solution was the one others and I gave. (Ok, I didn't give a solution early enough, I just entered the argument because I strongly agreed to one of the arguing sides).
