what is the smallest positive integer solution to the equation:

you are the worst

I may have spent 15 minutes or so looking over that
it gets pretty messy

I'm pretty sure the answer to that comic is 1.4 ohms

"pretty messy" is an understatement, if you want to see how it's actually done, give this a read, it's quite interesting https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-find-the-integer-solutions-to-frac-x-y+z-+-frac-y-z+x-+-frac-z-x+y-4/answer/Alon-Amit

pretty sure I saw similar things in middle/highschool
(and it can be done in 7 races, good luck figuring out how c:)

see i was thinking 7 races but i wasnt sure how to handle the case of getting second and third place if both are in race 1. hmm.

say two different guys attempt to hit on a certain 16 girls.
guy A is 50% successful in sleeping with them all. while guy B is 20% successful in sleeping with them all.

write an equation that shows the range of girls that slept with BOTH guys.
and another equation that shows us the likelihood of 1 or both guys catching herpes if only 1 girl had it.

is this scenario coming from you then life

saw an interesting problem last night

if there are 25 ducks, and you can only race 5 ducks at a time, how many races do you need to see which 3 ducks are the fastest?
each race will only tell you their relative speeds (ie ducky 3 was the slowest, but ducky 4 was the second fastest)

6

have 5 duck races (each with ducks that havent raced) and have the winners race in a final sixth race. kill the slowest 2 from the finale
