duplicate.

I just explained it once at this forum

that with the given data, the solution/(the answer) is not in integer numbers.

So the problem, as it is worded, printed, posted and presented, is a FAKE.


Please do not post it to this forum again.

Otherwise, I will redirect it to the TRASH SECTION without any explanations.


Thank you very much and have a nice day / evening / nigh / morning / afternoon and tea time (!)
