The problems asks about " the other " person, but does not decipher who is this " other person ".

When you formulate Math problem, each word does matter, and even each letter does matter.

Therefore, try to make your job MORE ACCURATE when you write Math problems.

Surely, I can make my hypotheses trying to guess what you were going to say,
but it is not my job as a tutor to hypothesize about your writing.

So, if you want to get help, re-write the post and be as close to your source as possible;
then re-post to the forum the updated version.

Please do not post it to me personally.
