Men of Smallvile (Posted on 2002-09-12) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A few facts about the male population of Smallvile:
  • No two male residents of Smallville have the same number of hairs on their heads.
  • No male resident of Smallvile has exactly 1003 hairs on his head.
  • There are more male residents of Smallvile than the number of hairs on the head of any of the residents.
So how many male residents of Smallvile can there be?

Just realised the error in the way the question was posed. Instead of asking how many people there are, the question should be "how many can there be?" since the answer is an inequality.

Sorry for the confusion.
