Message-ID: <220@pucc-i> Date: Fri, 24-Feb-84 13:04:57 EST Article-I.D.: pucc-i.220 Posted: Fri Feb 24 13:04:57 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 25-Feb-84 07:55:19 EST Organization: Purdue University Computing Center Lines: 13 I am still getting a few mail responses to the "balls in the bowl" problem. Many trick answers have been suggested. In case anyone is still wondering, the answer I had in mind involves the "numbered balls" argument, already posted by someone else, which says that the answer is indeterminate. The answer could be zero, or infinity, or anything between. -- Dave Seaman ..!pur-ee!pucc-i:ags "Against people who give vent to their loquacity by extraneous bombastic circumlocution."
