How can you plant seven straight rows of trees with six trees per row such that twenty-one trees are planted in total?
How can you plant nine straight rows of trees with three trees per row such that nine trees are planted in total?
I doubt this is a valid solution, but with only 12 trees, we could make 2 larger rows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Creating 7 rows of 6 trees (1,2,3,4,5,6 ; 2,3,4,5,6,7 ; 3,4,5,6,7,8 ; etc...)
The same technique cannot be applied to the second question however.
