How the problem is presented,   it is   1)  FAKE   and   2)   MAKES  no  SENSE   and   3)  is absurd.


I will not edit it,   because it is clear to me from the text that

        a)  you do not understand what you print,

        b)  you do not think on what you print  (copy/paste), and

        c)  you don't want to think about it.
