Answer the following:
1] At what numbered marker and after how many minutes will all the studs line up? ===> 19th stud and after 6 mn.
2] If we let it run on, then after how many minutes will have passed when they line up again? ===> 30 mn.
3] Will the studs always all line up every 30 minutes? [YES/NO]===> YES (30 is the LCM of 3, 2, 1 and 5).
4] Using the initial data is it possible for the studs to all line up on any other marker? [YES/NO]===> NO
Many thanks to my friend Excel.
