Answer to Q23

A small number of cards has been lost from a complete pack. If I deal among 5 people, 2 cards remain. If I deal among 3 people, 1 remain and if I deal among 2 people, 1 cards remain. How many cards are there?

We already know the range of number we are looking for, a number less than 52 (a complete pack of cards). This number must fulfil all these following conditions

1. When divided by 5 it must have a remainder of 2 (clue 1)

2. When divided by 3 it must have a remainder of 1 (clue 2)

3. When divided by 2 it must have a remainder of 1 (clue 3)

We can now find this number via trial and error, but let's first list out all numbers with remainder 2 when divided by 5 between 1 and 51

47, 42, 37, 32, 27, 22, 17, 12, and 7

Testing 47 with clue 2 and 3

Clue 2: 47 ÷ 3 = 15 Rem 2 (so 47 is not correct)

Testing 42 with clue 2 and 3

Clue 2: 42 ÷ 3 = 14 Rem 0 (so 42 is not correct)

Testing 37 with clue 2 and 3

Clue 2: 37 ÷ 3 = 12 Rem 1
Clue 3: 37 ÷ 3 = 18 Rem 1

Fulfilled all 3 clues!

Answer: 37

Judge Hui described Ng as inciting others to “commit a massacre” with three posts teaching people to make “toxic chlorine gas bombs,” target police stations, police quarters and the city’s metro stations. This offence was “rather serious,” the court said. Today, we will address Telegram channels and how to use them for maximum benefit. Ng, who had pleaded not guilty to all charges, had been detained for more than 20 months. His channel was said to have contained around 120 messages and photos that incited others to vandalise pro-government shops and commit criminal damage targeting police stations. ‘Ban’ on Telegram 1What is Telegram Channels?
