Tricky math question?
the four numbers a %26lt; b %26lt; c %26lt;d can be paired in six different ways. If each pair has a different sum, and if the fourt smallest sums are 1, 2, 3, and 4, what are all the possible values of d?
Math help...ahhh!?
d = 4
a=0
b=1
c=2
d=4
Six pairs are: ab,ac,ad,bc,bd,cd
ab=01: 0+1=1
ac=02: 0+2=2
ad=04: 0+4=4
bc=12: 1+2=3
bd=14: 1+4=5
cd=24: 2+4=6
all sums are different and the four smallest sums are 1,2,3,4
