So My daughters teacher presented the parents with a math problem.

What is the Number?

-The sum of the digits is 17
-It is an even number between 17000 - 18000
-There are 2 pairs of digits that have a difference of 6
-No digit is greater than 7
-The number is less than 17100



I think it's 17036

Right or wrong?

Meets all the criteria.

well, you said it's two pairs with a difference of 6... your answer only has one pair, right? Or am I not seeing something

17054...maybe? Damn math. I've always hated math

wait, that's not right

Why would the teacher say "-It is an even number between 17000 - 18000" and "-The number is less than 17100"?

Why not just say it's a number between 17000-17100?

On her homework, you need to write a letter the the teacher saying "Please see me after class"

17036

1 & 7 are 6 apart
0 & 6 are 6 apart

What grade is your daughter in?
Whats funny is, she probably already gots this figured out while we're here,grown ass men, scratching our heads thinking "WTF"!

Thanks you Jesus!



Grade 5 , the class couldn't get it.

I'll find out today

Its a pretty easy question when you think about it. She already gave you 3 out of the five digits with her last hint. 170_ _

Now just come up with a combinatioon of 2 numbers that add up to 9. There are none bigger than 7. So, 7+2 or 6+3 or 4+5. That's it. Put in those three and see which one comes meets all the criteria.

By the way, 17063 also works.

No... it's not an even number.

LOL my bad. It was before I had coffee. :P

Ok, I've seen it all.

Hitting up the SSL forum to get answers to math problems.

What has this world come to?

where was this forum when i was talking Calculus?

All I can thnk of is the scene from back to school when Rodney dangerfield is taking his finals and says, "4?"

Like I always used to say, "I don't get it"

Hey djs should be good at math.
Ya gotta know if the track playing is 128 bpm and the next track is 126bpm you bump the pitch 1.6%
or that sick D&B track at 180bpm will mix nice with a hiphop acapella

Haha :)

so, what's the answer?

The teacher didn't give it back - grrrrr

Do what you should..

s-u-c-k-m-y-a-s-s.... "forensics"

17017

Doesn't end in an even number

forgot even and = 17.

17062 would work and equal the same

Sniff... what's the sum of 1+7+0+6+2= ?????

i thinks the answers B

My scantron sheet ripped can i have another?

17036 - got the test back today.

Now we know..... and knowing is half the battle ...............

It doesn't follow:

right?

*sigh*... once again:

1 and 7 = 6 apart
0 and 6 = 6 apart

Class dismissed.

I guess I'm too literal, for me a pair of digits would be next to each other. Then this question would not be possible.
Thanks JC

Yeah but 0 and 6 aren't paired together

but. they. are. a. pair. of. digits.
