Question

Its math homework. I was given 5 cards with the numbers 1-31 on them, its a game, u ask a person to pick out a number and to give u the cards on which the number is on. What u do then is add all the first numbers from all the cardsa nd u get the number they chose. Thats understandable, the first numbers from all the cards r 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. The assignment requires me to make the 6th card, is it possible? The numbers on the cards may only be 1-31 and u are assuming that the first number on the next card will be 32. plz write something if u have had to do this before or just show some compassion because i have to figure it all out by myself

Answer 1

I read in a book recently, called Mastering Mathematics: How To Be A Great Math Student, that math questions in math tests are always solvable. I think homework would follow the same rule. Good luck.
