Thursday, June 16

So my brother got this really hard math problem. Well it wasn't THAT hard, it was just tedious. The problem goes like this:

How many combinations of coins can you use to make 60 cents?

At first, it seems like an easy problem, but on further inspection, things change. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to the numbers (I checked it on a computer program) and there are many different combinations. The most mind-boggling fact is that this problem was on a fifth grade practice test. It took around 20 minutes for my dad to brute force it. The answer (if you were so interested) is 72.

I tried to add markdown to blogger. Lets see if this works:

...tests Markdown...

Nope. It didn't work.

Maybe next time?

Weird thing:
