I saw on a website once it is 4 and 47, but didn't find an explanation and it might just have been a guess.

Maybe there is no answer at all. :D:D:DQuote:

Well we wait for Elrond to say
just checked my calcualations :rolleyes:
13 and 22 is not it
but I like 47 and 4
I'll check it out
4 and 47 can also not be it.
I give up! So Elrod please post the answer!
and let's proceed
Sorry, I've been (and still am) quite busy.
The answer I had was 3 and 14 (S:17, P:52).
Basically, when you calculate all the possibilites of products for each sum that has not two primary numbers you'll have a list like:
S:11 -> P: 18 24 28 30
S:17 -> P: ...
Then you remove all products that appear in multiple lines, because they would have prevented P to know for sure the possible result. Finally the only line with one product for a sum is:
S:17 -> P:52.
I don't have time to give additional explanation. If ou are not happy with that, just don't count the question or remove one point to me for a flawed or badly explained question. Then continue with additional questions.
I don't like this
4 and 13
6 and 11
8 and 19
are just as good for me
I think that question totally killed this thread
3 * 14 = 42
so lets try to keep it alive then ;)Quote:

sooooo
two men were walking through a desert. They reached a river that crossed the desert. Both of them couldn't swim and the river was too big to be crossed without a boat. But there was a boat. It could only carry ONE man. The two used it to cross the river and went their ways dry. How was this possible.
Did they use a rope?
Assuming there really were rivers in deserts?
It's obvious: the big man ate the small man and crossed the river, then regurgitated the small man.Quote:
