A quickie? This really happend!
I had some surveyors in on Friday 11th Oct – two young ladies actually.
The lead woman saw what I was doing (with my programming question) and
said she has a near relative who would be interested in it, then she showed
me the following that she brought up on her iPhone, “maybe you can do this for me” she
asked, she wrote it down on a pad I had nearby, “I’ll have a try I said”, taking
the pad from her. Three minuets latter I handed it back with my answer.
Here is what she wrote. . .
Given:
A + C = D
A x B = C
C – B = B
4 x A = D
Find A, B, C, and D
Can you solve it quickly?
