    That's what I thought too, 19 is the maximum unless there is a slight time variance between some people.

    But if the guard come every 4 hours on the dot then he will enter at the exact time the 20th is finishing thus is can only be 19 as the 20th will be caught.

    Occam's Razor. You are making an assumption that he won't arrive immediately on the 4th hour, even though it states in the question every 4 hours, you can't move goalposts to make it fit. If he beats 12 people off in 11 mins it means an extra one can be fit in, but that isn't the question.

    Or, if you think logically about it (are we really applying logic to restroom handjobs?), Glenn probably doesn't have the men lined up with their trousers down ready to get jerked (and if he did, it doesn't matter when the ranger enters, he'll be caught either way). The question is oddly worded though, since this wording is more like "Glenn is trying to set the record for most strangers gotten off in a park restroom between inspections". The intended message is more likely "Glenn gets a stranger off in the restroom every 12 minutes. how many strangers can he get off between 2 inspections spaced 4 hours apart?" again, this is also making assumptions, but it's more like a liberal interpretation of the question.

    I remember this. Wasn't there personally, but it was glorious.

    for those in the dark: February 2nd 2012, a hotfix went wrong which made the seal of truth proc activate hundreds of times per attack. it was hotfixed within 2 hours, but paladins for a moment felt even more like gods than they already were (I'm a paladin myself btw).

    Discussing a pic doesn't seem too bad, but the drawn out arguments over who is right and who is wrong is when it gets annoying as hell for me too. Besides, it's math! DAMN MATH!



    Though if people are breaking the internet, we need to get the cats in to fix it.

    You're exceeding the parameters of the word problem. The question asks how many could he do in between inspections and not how many he can do without being caught. Whether or not he is caught is not a factor in the math since the question only asks how many 12-minute "activities" could be completed in allotted 4 hours.

    Never thought I'd see such a long discussion about a George Michael situation word problem.

    Completely agree, here's something else to mess with your head.
    Anyone else think Jaime Lannister only has the Kingslayer title because he was just too lazy to kill the king on heroic mode?
