The Show: 1 vs 100
The Question: How many six packs does it take to put 99 bottles of beer on the wall?
A. More than 15
B. Exactly 15
C. Less than 15
20 people out of 100 got it wrong. (One cute girl who got it wrong explained, "I'm a wine drinker, I don't drink beer, he he he")
Brilliant stuff. |

24 bottles of beer in a case, 24 hours in a day...coincidence? -- I don't think so...
As for the question--It's Friday afternoon in Central America and my brain is disengaged for the weekend... |

My brother asked me today to instantly answer this question: what is 13 divided by 97? I said, "Uh.. about 0.15." He snobbishly laughed, pointing out that it's closer to 0.135. The shame! 
Anyway, the answer to that question is 6. |

Don't tell your brother, but you got the answer wrong. It's how many 6 packs, not how man cases of 24 bottles. It's easy, actually. Just divide 99 by 3 and then divide the answer by 2. (99/3)=33. (33/2)= 16.5 six packs. |

The more important question is: "Where are you downloading new episodes of 1 vs. 100?"
I can only find the first episode. |

The way i worked it out was 6*10=60+6*5=90+6=96 which means more than 15
your way seems much easier |

the way the question is worded, just do 15 x 6 pack. Answer is less than 99. Therefore, answer is "more than 15."
No need to figure it out exactly, just go with what they give you. |

| Doesn't it depend on how many you drink? |
