The name of the site 'The Puzzle Spot' may be misleading. It may lead you to think that the site is run by a Puzzle Guru. It is, in fact, run by all of us for all of us to become puzzle gurus and increase our technical know-how and improve our knowledge in problem solving. So let's join our hands and try our heads together on this.

Finally, Got a question!
Find the integral solutions of x and y in the following equation:
x=18
ReplyDeletey=36
It was "solutions" and not "solution"!
ReplyDeletex = 12y/(y-12), y-12 should be a multiple of twelve, so, y must naturally be a multiple of 12, i.e 24,36,48,.....
ReplyDeletekeep in mind that certain multiples like y=96 will not give an integral solution.
