Essay Final (Posted on 2005-04-08) Difficulty: 3 of 5
One of my teachers gives his students essay finals. First, he tells us three numbers, A, B, and C. He gives us A essay questions to study before the test. He picks B essay questions to put on the test, and we must pick out C of them to answer. He tells us to study A-B+C of the given questions if we want to pass the final.

As a procrastinator, I only studied the night before. Luckily, some other students had taken the test a day early, and could tell me which of the questions the teacher had picked. Of course, the teacher would pick a different combination of questions to give to the rest of the students. After hearing which questions were given, I realized I needed to study N less questions than was necessary before!

Find N, generalizing to all possible A, B, and C.

Flood has a thread post about Perplexes. They are giving an option to choose the three alphabets for writing an essay and we can also get dissertation writing services uk to enhance our learning skills easily. The teacher has to pick the number and give the essay writing guidance. You can also join them for more information.
