TehMeh:

At 1 pm, they were 6 miles down river.
At 2 pm, they were 9 miles down river while the paddle was 7 (2 miles behind them)
At 2:40 pm, they were going against the current and retrieved the paddle at 7 and 2/3 miles. At this point, the hat had moved to the 9 and 2/3 mile mark.

At 3:04 pm, they catch up to the hat! Cool Cool


Nice answer, and I must add that Dutchy was not injured during the construction of the puzzle! Laughing


Mark:

1048576 = Bytes in a Megabyte Cool

What went wrong!

Apparently, when you typed:
10log2^1999
you meant:
10^log2(1999)

A case of not seeing the woods due to all the trees in the way!


Not that Miss mi can see many trees now that they are all lumber. However, it was nice of you to visit; and a very good morning to you; and your Pa! I am glad to see you survived the storm. Very Happy

Probable impossibilities are to be preferred to improbable possibilities.

I am saying nothing until I know the correct answer. (Don't give it out; I am still thinking - At last a problem that is not answered in five minutes) Very Happy


TTH, I have a time far in excess of the one you gave, in the absence of any other attempt, I am going over the solution!



As a whole, I am both safe and secure.
Behead me, and I become a place of meeting.
Behead me again, and I am the partner of ready.
Restore me, and I become the domain of beasts.

What am I Question



Arrange the ten digits 0 to 9 in three arithmetical sums, using three of the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and using no signs except the ordinary ones implying those operations.

In case there is anyone without the benefit of a fine American education; here is an example to make it quite clear:

3 + 4 = 7 9 - 8 = 1 5 X 6 = 30

However, the above example is not correct Embarrassed , as the number 2 has not been used and the number 3 has been used twice. Shocked

Can you come up with a valid solution Question
