No, I am being downvoted because I'm right. Being right is simply rude, but being right about something trivially proven is beyond the pale.
- tomp 12y ago>Would that solution be "multiply by the number of children and divide by ten" No; his/her solution is: If 0-9 couldn't be divided evenly among the kids present, leftover digits would result in a re-roll, exactly as I said above. > No, I am being downvoted because I'm right Are you? This is math we're talking about, right and wrong are very precisely defined. For the sake of discussion, can you repeat the question you claim to have the right/correct solution to, and your answer?
