February 23, 200719 yr Four men and four women are shipwrecked on a desert island. Eventually each one falls in love with one another, and is himself loved by one person. John falls in love with a girl who is in love with Jim. Arthur loves a girl who loves the man who loves Ellen. Mary is loved by the man who is loved by the girl who is loved by Bruce. Gloria hates Bruce and is hated by the man whom Hazel loves. Enigma: Who loves Arthur?
February 23, 200719 yr ^I like this expression:) So who loves who and who hates the one who's loved by the one who loves the other who hates the first one...?
February 23, 200719 yr ohhhhh love is in the air :wacko: :blush: Indeed!:blush: But does it have to give a headache?:P And Lore, do you have the answer?
February 23, 200719 yr FINALLY I HAVE IT - answer is gloria - shesh :tongue: [if it's not right...i don't care! lol] --->Bruce--->Ellen--->John--->Mary--->Jim--->Gloria--->Arthur--->Hazel--->
February 23, 200719 yr I'm not sure,but I don't think we can solve it with only the given that we have. Just can't see how it is possible...
February 23, 200719 yr you're right. There're some missing details. So, no one can really find the answer!...
February 24, 200719 yr ^how did you find it? explain!!! you're right. There're some missing details. So, no one can really find the answer!... well you saw the spoiler in my earlier post, that is the working out. now how i actually got to it...not so simple but the trick is break it all down and work backwards in some cases. do you want the steps i went through? it's a typical math problem but very tricky :tongue: so it is possible with the details given, as you see in the solution is gave :wink:

I suck at maths :laugh3: But if you would like to explain how did you find the answer, I mean, which means did you use?
