THE Philosopher
This question comes from the 27th Brazilian Mathematical Olympiad (2005). I, sadly, got this one wrong. Good luck. We have four charged batteries, four uncharged batteries, and a radio which needs two charged batteries to work. We do not know which batteries…
With all 4 uncharged batteries accounted for, 7 and 8 (1 try) will turn the radio on and result in a good try. 3 + 3 + 1 = 7
So, the 3-3-2 split also works, and it seems to be the best answer. Very neat problem

@ArthurSchopenhauer1788 what have you done to me… I’m about to walk away from a career path because I realized I was chasing money and approval from others.

I’m glad you learned the hard lesson that the only person you need to seek approval from is Arthur Shopenjuper
Thales, so the story goes, because of his poverty was taunted with the uselessness of philosophy; but from his knowledge of astronomy he had observed while it was still winter that there was going to be a large crop of olives, so he raised a small sum of money and paid round deposits for the whole of the olive-presses in Miletus and Chios, which he hired at a low rent as nobody was running him up; and when the season arrived, there was a sudden demand for a number of presses at the same time, and by letting them out on what terms he liked he realized a large sum of money, so proving that it is easy for philosophers to be rich if they choose, but this is not what they care about- Aristotle, Politics 1258
Some guy just ran into a gas station, asking if anybody had seen "a colored boy run through here."
Wonder what was up with that 🤔

Received free raw cow and goat milk. "I was just about to feed it to da pigs, so you can just take it, eh."
