Is their any way by which we could tell whether the $40$th bead would be Green,Yellow or Blue ? Is my method flawed ?

thats what I did. So I guess the only way is a hit and trial method

comment If $x$ and $y$ are prime , which of the following cannot be their sum
Thanks , so I could get an odd or an even result. Now am I suppose to try different combinations here of prime numbers ? Is there another way ? I mean I could go like $2+3 , 7+2 , 11+2 , ,13+3 $

comment Combinatorics - How many committees are possible in this case
@GerryMyerson To get 6 , I grouped the two enemies as one so 7-1 = 6 and 4 was the committee requirement.

comment Combinatorics - How many committees are possible in this case
You stated "To form an unacceptable committee, you must first choose the two enemies and then fill out the rest of the committee with any 2 of the remaining 5 people, so there are $_5C_2$ unacceptable committees." Could you explain this a bit more I still don't get it. How did you get 5 and how did you get 2 ?

comment Combination - Inverse Way of solving this problem
@ladaghini I believe you are mistaking.. I have it correct for at-least one math teacher. Since All Possible Combinations - All possible English combination gives combinations that have at least one math in them

comment Combination - Inverse Way of solving this problem
@joriki. I tried using that approach $\binom{9}{5} - ( \binom{5}{5} + \binom{6}{5} + \binom{7}{5} ) $ but I dont get the correct answer
