MATH CHALLENGE

Name: Anonymous 2014-05-27 18:38

At some arm wrestling championship, the champion had to face at least one opponent per hour, but had no more than 125 meetings over a period of 75 hours. (Here one hours means a period starting at an exact time and going to the next hour.) Knowing this, show that there is a period of consecutive hours during which the champion had exactly 24 matches.

Seems more like an English challenge to me.

At some pigeon holing championship, the champion had to place at least one pigeon per hole, but had no more than 125 pigeons in 75 holes. Knowing this, show that there are a number of consecutive holes in which the champion had placed exactly 24 pigeons.

yes, it's a "pigeonhole principle" problem, but can you solve it?

I can't :/

I've reduced the problem to
Given
x1+x2+...+x75 <= 125
x1,x2,...,x75 >= 1
Prove that
Exists a subset B of {x1,...,x75} such that sum(B)=24

show that there is a period of CONSECUTIVE hours during which the champion had exactly 24 matches.

>>14
I implied that it being CONSECUTIVE only matters if addition is not COMMUTATIVE
it's up to you to find out why

Implying things by misquoting makes you look like a retard.
