A puzzle a day..! :)
There are 4 mathematicians - Brahma, Sachin, Prashant and Nakul - having lunch in a hotel. Suddenly, Brahma thinks of 2 integer numbers greater than 1 and says, "The sum of the numbers is..." and he whispers the sum to Sachin. Then he says, "The product of the numbers is..." and he whispers the product to Prashant. After that following conversation takes place :
Sachin : Prashant, I don't think that we know the numbers.
Prashant : Aha!, now I know the numbers.
Sachin : Oh, now I also know the numbers.
Nakul : Now, I also know the numbers.
Prashant : Aha!, now I know the numbers.
Sachin : Oh, now I also know the numbers.
Nakul : Now, I also know the numbers.
What are the numbers?

- answer please; for the old puzzle asked way back in 2008. -
Prashanth_p@cchivinod1993Sachin : Prashant, I don't think that we know the numbers.- Implies that the Sum is greater than 6.... Right ??? If it is 5 or 4 then he would have guessed the numbers as 2,3 and 2,2 respectively.
- Implies that the Product is unique i.e., If X is the product(which he knows), then it can be obtained only by a*b or b*a. So, he gets to know, what a and b are..... Right???vinod1993Prashant : Aha!, now I know the numbers.
Ex: If X is 91, then the numbers are 13 and 7 only.
- Based on Prashant's statement, Sachin would have known that the Product was Unique. Since he knows the Sum, there would be only one combo which yields that X.vinod1993Sachin : Oh, now I also know the numbers.
Ex: If sum is 18, then only 11 and 7 will yield a unique X which is 77. S he gets to know the numbers.
I am seriously not able to figure out, how he will get to know!!!!!!vinod1993Nakul : Now, I also know the numbers.
I really don't know.vinod1993What are the numbers?
