Re: 10 second questions

Hi bobbym,

The solution [hide=#4984]I get 50.
Number of pieces = 42.5 x 100/85 = 4250/85 = 50

The solution #4985 is perfect. Exemplary!

PS : Thanks for the replies. I shall post 'English Language Puzzles' soon.

#4986.

Re: 10 second questions

Hi bobbym and ShivamS,

I made a mistake owing to my poor vision. The problem actually stated:

#4990.

The corrected version :

#4990.

Inconvenience regretted!
