Notice that the numbers 60 and 12 in the problem formulation are not necessary, excessive input data.

It serves for only one purpose to confuse the reader and to distract his (or her) attention.

You may meet such problems from time to time as puzzles, or even at contests among young and/or very young students.


So, be ready, be prepared and do not get swoon . . .
