Follow-up Passing letter question #216

Closed cjwong closed 12 years ago

cjwong commented 12 years ago

Current question: If you had to pass a letter to the representative, and you could only deliver to another person, and he or she then also had to deliver to another person, and so on until it reached the representative, how many people would it have to pass through before it reached the representative?

Suggested revision: Imagine you had to pass a letter to the representative. It could only be delivered by hand to another person, and he or she then also had to deliver it by hand to another person, and so on until it reached the representative. How many people would it have to pass through before it reached the representative?

(I mention "by hand" to avoid a recalcitrant R asking why you don't just mail the letter.)

Good suggestion.
