Can you guess the numbers?

[gravz84]

"hope this ends up the forum discussion"
I guess Bigk doesn't think so
I don't understand how Ash and Maro would solve for (13,4) in the sequence mentioned..
Ash won't be able to eliminate 6,11 9,8 3,14 5,12 7,10 as all of them have multiples that can be arrived at using different numbers.
Can you tell the sequence for 13,4 according to you?

Alright boys, let me ease your pressure a bit. The list wtf generated in absolutely on target. I must say wtf has done a great job.

Now for the hint, if Maro was sure Ash couldn't do it, it means none of the possible summations of the two number can be such that they have exactly one pair of eligible factors. So the list is correct. Now since Ash knows the summation, he knows the number as well (refer list)

Now for how will Maro guess the numbers?

i also mentioned that we have to select only tht pair of sum which doesnt repeat in tht list and so the answer.

Ponder on this

here it is given that there are 2 nos. let it be x, y
where,
x > 1 , y > 1 , x!=y
also x+y < 100
the nos. less than 100 are (2,3,4,5,6,.......99)
let's take 1st no. = 2
we can't get the no. 2 as the sum of two nos. which is greater than 1
next is 3 here also same condition can't satisfied i.e.
we can't get the no. 3 as the sum of two nos. which is greater than 1
next is 4
1+3 = 4 ----------not accepted
2+2 = 4 ----------- both x , y are same. not accepted.
next is 5
1 + 4 = 5------------not accepted
2+ 3 = 5 ------------yes it satisfies condition
other nos such as 7,8,9.....99 can get by many possible pair .
also 6 has unique solution i.e. 2+4 = 6 but
as 6<100 also 5 <100 & 5 < 6 hence the sum is 5 and product is 6

@SAYLI P: Nice try. But unfortunately the answer is wrong. Read the entire post. You will get your clues there.

[shah pooja]

a i think dis no's are
2,2
bcz when ash says her first sentance den maro supports the same,& next time as ash says other sen. that she knows den again maro suppots in d same manner.
i.e.
X+Y=X*Y;
& it can be possible only when both are 2
as 2+2=2*2
(may be u can laugh at its answer but what my mind is saying i'm saying so,just like as what ash was saying maro was saying so)

[shah pooja]

2,2
bcz here x+y=x*y
dat can be posiible only in case of 2 & 2
2+2=2*2

[mayurpathak]

The answer is wrong Pooja. Read the post again and also go through last 10-15 posts. you will get clues to solve it.

Don't worry. No one is laughing. We all suck at solving puzzles

Fellas,

Please pay attention to the dialog between MaRo & Ash!

[Hussanal Faroke]

I think the answer is 4 & 3

[Hussanal Faroke]

assume a+b=7 then the only possibility for a&b are(5,2) and (4,3).
but if the solution is (5,2) the second one can easily said the result is (5,2).because no more factors for 10 other than 5 and 2. ie a*b=12.
and get answer as (4,3) for fist person.
for sln (4,3), a*b=12.ie possible solutions for second person are (4,3)&(6,2)
for solns (4,3) as well as (6,2), a+b=7, or 8,and first person never get the result for first sight.
But the first one got the answer from second one's dialog. Due to this, second person got the result as(4,3).
