Best of luck solving this :)
Two positive integers are chosen .
Their sum is revealed to Iogician A and the sum of squares is revealed to logician B .
Both A and B are given this information and the information contained in the sentence.
The conversation between A and B goes as follows -
B starts -
B : I can't tell what they are .
A : I can't tell what they are .
B : I can't tell what they are .
A : I can't tell what they are .
B : I can't tell what they are .
A : I can't tell what they are .
B : Now , I can tell what they are.
( a ) What are the two numbers ?
( b ) When B says that he cannot tell what the two numbers are , A recieves a large amount of information .
But when A first says that he cannot tell what the two numbers are , B already knows that A can not tell that the two numbers are.
What good does it do to B to listen to A ?
Answers
a)
Their sum is revealed to Iogician A and the sum of squares is revealed to logician B .
=> The result of sum and square result of sum is revealed to appropriate logician, not the two numbers.
- I have doubt, if someone have to share some information they say at Max 2 times, commonly.
- Here the repetition is done. They made me more curious. It means, the repetition reveals the square of two numbers, as first started by logician B.
- The logician A has finally guessed.
When B says that he cannot tell what the two numbers are , A recieves a large amount of information.
=> he received information means he guessed.
repetition of sentence:- I can't tell what they are. 4 times.
That means :-
Logician B:- 4 = 2² = (1 + 1)².
•°• LogicianA:- 2 = (1 + 1)
That means Two positive integers were 1 and 1.
_____________________________________
Note:- As logician B only has to gusse. He must be repeated due to repetition of Logican B.
Reason:- when A first says that he cannot tell what the two numbers are , B already knows that A can not tell that the two numbers are.
b)
=> Logician A must have to do something like logician B as in conversation. to determine something sign or clue.
Note: {we are Answerer we know both situation happened}
