It's time to renew your tag for your license plate. You go to the Secretary of State's office only to find twenty people already in line when three clerks open their windows. Clerk A can complete the transaction in two minutes. Clerk B can do it in three minutes and clerk C, in four minutes. Assuming everyone knows this and all are in a hurry, how long does it take you to get your license plate tag?
Bonus Q:
Take the phrase NOWHERE STILL. Add one letter OR one punctuation mark and rearrange the result to name something unusual about today.
A:
After 18 minutes, clerk A has processed 9 transactions, clerk B has processed 6 and clerk C has completed 4 1/2. Add to get 19 1/2 meaning 19 are done and number 20 is with clerk C. A and B are open and you choose the faster of the 2, clerk A. Your transaction takes 2 minutes for a total of
20 Minutes
For the bonus, add an I or an apostrophe and rearrange to get either answer.
Will is not here.
Will's not here.
After 18 minutes it's your turn. A and B are free. You choose A and are done 2 minutes later after a total of 20 minutes.
