Axe Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Assuming the following: 1/. Your punctuation is incorrect. 2/. Ollie is at work on a 5 day week. 3/. Ollie starts work on Monday. The answer is 23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jonrms Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 I just read Axe's answer and still got it wrong To confuse you.. heres how it worked out.. and some of the logic behind how it was worked out. mon: X tue: X+4 wed: X+8 thurs: X+12 fri: X+16 sat: X+20 sun: X+24 total: 7X + 84 = 115 thereby: 7X = 115 - 84 = 31 X = 31 divided by 7 = 4.42857 Thereby Wed = 4.42857 + 8 = 12.42857 ? Unless the total was supposed to be 112 not 115 in which case it'd be a straight 4 emails for X Otherwise if we're talking a 5 day business week then the answer is 23 mon: X tue: X+4 wed: X+8 thurs: X+12 fri: X+16 total: 5X + 40 = 115 thereby: 5X = 115 - 40 = 75 X = 75 divided by 5 = 15 Thereby Wed = 15 + 8 = 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
