Question 228306: There were 840 pumpkins in a pumpkin patch,
but it was difficult for farmer Joe to find the
perfect pumpkin.
• Every third pumpkin was too small.
• Every fourth pumpkin was too green.
• Every fifth pumpkin had a broken stem.
• Every sixth pumpkin had the wrong shape.
How many perfect pumpkins did farmer Joe find
in the pumpkin patch?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! With the restriction that each pumpkin has one flaw, my approach is appropriate.
Otherwise all the rejected pumpkins could have 2,3 or 4 flaws.
For that solution I neither have the skills nor the time. Sorry.

1/3+1/4+1/5+1/6
(20+15+12+10)/60
57/60
19/20 thus 1/20 or .05 or 5% are perfect pumpkins.
