BrainteaserGenius Corner: Gain fame by playing our brain gameThis week’s brainteaser requires balance, skill and a whole lot of canned veggies. The first person to e-mail the right answer will have his or her name printed in the next issue of Engineering News along with the answer. Twice a semester, one of the bi-weekly winners will be picked at random to win two movie tickets, courtesy of Engineering Alumni Relations. A grocery clerk must stack 720 cans of vegetables in a pyramid formation. Each row must contain one less can than the row below it. Is it possible to use up all the cans and have a top row with only one can? If so, how many rows of cans would he have? Send you answers
to editnews@coe.berkeley.edu
and include your name, major and class year. |
