Puzzle #42
If everyone in Chinaville owns an even number of dishes, no one owns more than 274 dishes, & no 2 people own the same number of dishes, what is the maximum number of people in Chinaville?
Reveal Answer
138. The number can quickly be found by dividing the maximum number of dishes, 274, by 2, because half of the numbers are even, & half of them are odd — However, you must also add 1 to the answer to include 0, which is an even number.
