You have a bunch of cups and a bunch of marbles. Your task is to fill 1 cup w/ 1 marble, 2 cups with 2 marbles each, 3 cups w/ 3 marbles each, etc, until 10 cups are filled w/ 10 marbles each.

How many cups are needed Question

Now I accept I'm not the fastest coyote in the pack, but if I see an answer straight away, I probably have misread the question.
But what the heck is Thoh doing playing with his marbles in bed? Laughing

The x-axis is marbles; the y-axis is for cups:

Pick a point in the square. The x-coordinate is when marble x arrives; the y-coordinate is when cup y arrives. Using that point as the bottom left corner, create a smaller square that is 10 marbles by 10 marbles. If that smaller square intersects the line x=y you will have:

[size=7]100 cups and 550 marbles.[/size]

It seems like you are missing something? The other T should have been a R.

:wink: It was fun though, thoh Laughing

I had to write down your marble problem to come up with the answer.

Marbles:1+(2x2)+(3x3)+(4x4)+(5x5)+(6x6)+(7x7)+(8x8)+(9x9)+(10x10)=1+4+9+16+25+36+49+64+81+100=385

Cups:1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10=55
