You can put this solution on YOUR website! "I am less than 6 feet tall but more than 2 feet tall. My height in inches is a multiple of 7 and is also 2 inches more than a multiple of 6.
--------------------
2ft < x < 6ft implies 24 in < x < 72 in
x = 7k inches
x = 6m+2 inches
-------------------
x = 6m + 2 sequence:: 8,14,20,26,32,38,44,50,56,62,68
-------------------------------
Comment:: None of this sequence is a multiple of 7.
------------
The conditions seem to be contradictory.
