Unusual 5th grade problem, how to solve it I wouldn't be surprised if a bright fifth grader came up with the trivial x=y=z=a=b=5. Then answer the next question with "No": x=y=z=a=6, b=3. That seems do-able for bright grade fives. |

What's the General Expression For Probability of a Failed Gift Exchange Draw Nice answer Ross, I'm also impressed by your math typography skills. Looks very professional. I'm not sure what the expression with e means (is that as n approaches infinity?) But you're right. The function is pretty close. |
