Yep… this is the type of crap that I do for fun when I am not cooking:
One man wanted to get in to his work, but he forgot his PIN.
Although, he remembered certain clues for his PIN.
(Here are the 5 clues)
| A | *The 1st number is 1 less than twice the 2nd number | A = 2B – 1 |
| B | *The 2nd number plus the 3rd number equals 10 | B + C = 10 |
| C | *The 3rd number is not yet mentioned, but based on the clue for E… | C + E = 14 |
| D | *The 4th number is 1 more than the 2nd number | D = B + 1 |
| E | *The 5th number plus the 3rd number equals 14 | E + C = 14 aka E = 14 – C |
| ABCDE | *Adding all the numbers equals 30 | A+B+C+D+E=30 |
Logic Follows
A = 2B – 1
B = 10 – C
C = 14 – E
D = B + 1
E = 14 – C
–
A =
–
B = D – 1
B = A + 1
B = 10 – C
C = 14 – E
–
A + B + C + D + E = 30
20 – 2C – 1 + 10 – C + C + 10 – C + 1 + 14 – C = 30
20 – 2C – 1 + 20 – C + 15 – C = 30
39 – 2C – C + 15 – C = 30
54 – 4C = 30
4C = 24
C = 6
–
A + B + C + D + E = 30
A + B + 6 + D + E = 30
Title Math Logic Puzzle
SOLVE FOR B = B = 4
SOLVE FOR A = A = 7
SOLVE FOR D = D = 5
SOLVE FOR E = E = 8

TEST
7 + 4 + 6 + 5 + 8 = 30
11 + 11 + 8 = 30
