Several months ago there was a puzzle on the net concerning two very intelligent mathematicians, one given the sum of two numbers between three and 100, the other given the product. After an exchange that went something like: Sally: "You can't figure out my sum" Paul: "I have figured out your sum" Sally: "I have figured out your product" You were asked to identify the numbers. Well, this generated quite a bit of interest on the net and several solutions. I gave the original problem to someone in the office, but let the solutions slip by. Would someone please MAIL me a copy of the solution? My officemate would be eternally grateful. -- - Robert Stampfli (cbosgd!res)
