Originally, Mr. Kong said this was a problem inflicted on fifth-graders, leading to hand-wringing that Singapore children were way better at math than everyone else in the world and worries that Singapore children were being mentally abused with convoluted logic at a young age.
When Is Cheryl’s Birthday?
Albert and Bernard just met Cheryl. “When’s your birthday?” Albert asked Cheryl.
Cheryl thought a second and said, “I’m not going to tell you, but I’ll give you some clues.” She wrote down a list of 10 dates:
May 15, May 16, May 19
June 17, June 18
July 14, July 16
August 14, August 15, August 17
“My birthday is one of these,” she said.
Then Cheryl whispered in Albert’s ear the month — and only the month — of her birthday. To Bernard, she whispered the day, and only the day.
“Can you figure it out now?” she asked Albert.
Albert: I don’t know when your birthday is, but I know Bernard doesn’t know, either.
Bernard: I didn’t know originally, but now I do.
Albert: Well, now I know, too!
When is Cheryl’s birthday?
It turned out the problem actually came from a math olympiad test for math-savvy high school-age students.
How would you fare in a room full of adolescent math competitors in Singapore?
(Once you think you have figured it out — or if you don’t know where to start — here is the answer and an explanation.)
LOL...interesting. I figured you did it some "other" type of way. The intended solution:
pi to 10,000 digits
Pi~3.1415926
c.adaeibF
Where a=1, b=2, c=3, etc.
The letters in question correspond to the fractional part of Pi. "F" corresponds to "6." I left out "3" or "c" (the non-fractional part of pi) to help make this teaser "google proof."
Well done!
