African stamps must be a multiple of 10 so that it's multiplies to a multiple of 5 or 10
African stamps must be 90 because 1) Must be multiple of 10 and 2) Has to be high. If there were 80 African stamps, there is a remainder of 20 stamps and 20x5=$100 already.作者: michael128750 时间: 2012-10-13 11:00:45
I guess after at most 4! * .5 = 12 hours, they can have a same seating arrangement. but things could be complicated. I do not know.作者: y2kid 时间: 2012-10-25 12:20:34
