Bite-sized brain teaser to solve in a minute or less.
The Book Page
Maggie needs to locate a specific torn-out page from a book among several other torn-out pages from the same book. All she knows is that the sum of the two page numbers on either side of the page is 333.
What are the page numbers on the missing page?
Solution

The missing pages would be consecutive page numbers Let's take them as x and x+1
The sum of the two page numbers is given as 333, so:
x + (x + 1) = 333 2x + 1 = 333 2x = 332 x = 166 The missing page numbers are 166 and 167. |
