Only Grolandais are invited, but the Palais des Festivals of Groland has a limited number of place. Grolandais are drawn to the entrance on the evening of December 31, 2999 (at exactly midnight).

diamond_ace 3,106 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 36,525. A person can be drawn from age 1 day old to age 100, which is the oldest person. If a person born every single day within that span is drawn before any duplicates, then the following: 365 days per year x 100 years = 36,500 Over a 100 year span there would also be 25 leap years, and people who were born on February 29th in leap years could also be selected, adding 25 more potential days to be selected from, and therefore 25 more people that could be selected at maximum.

boubabi 4,725 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Tell me what kind of pennie he has in his pocket plz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Grumpy Bear 347 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 He can have infinity pennies or money in his pocket. The machine doesn't take them and they do not pertain to this question. It says right in the question he has zero pennies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boubabi 4,725 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Think about it If you has infinite money, he can buy the chocolate bar for the exact amount. In the enigma, he can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Grumpy Bear 347 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'm not saying he has infinite money. I'm saying if he had pennies he could have an infinite amount because the machine doesn't take them. He has zero pennies though, it says so right in the question.

BOOM 8,401 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 John is an idiot. He should steal the chocolate bar from the grocery store, then rob an old lady for her pennies. Both problems solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
