First, I'd like to be in 64th position. And tell the general that at least 45% of the men suffered all 4 conditions, up to 70% Drew -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Arthur Fuller Sent: Friday, April 23, 2010 8:43 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: [AccessD] OT: Friday Puzzles If you must have a Friday joke... "Don't make a fool of yourself. God beat you to it." Two puzzles for Friday. You are one of 1000 people who shall be executed using the following procedure. You are lined up single-file, shoulder to shoulder. Every other person will be shot, starting with the first. The survivors of that round will line up shoulder to shoulder, and the process repeated, until there is only one person left. Assuming that you wish to be the sole surivor, what position in the line would you choose? You have 3 minutes to decide. At the end of a battle, the general regrouped his soldiers. They had done badly. 70% of them had lost, at least, one eye. 75% had lost at least one ear. 80% had lost, at minimum, an arm. 85% of the soldiers had lost one leg. The general wants to know how many of his men had lost, at minimum, one eye, one ear, one arm and one leg. He is stingy with the medals so he wants to reward the fewest number of soldiers. What percentage of the soldiers should receive medals? You have 5 minutes to decide.
