Hm. 4. Might be Padres
5. Mariners?

7. Could also be Bruins

issybird · 05-02-2012, 11:19 PM

Must be football teams, so scratch Mariners, Padres and Bruins.

issybird · 05-02-2012, 11:26 PM

5. Buccaneers!

I'm done now.

Great job Issybird.

If you're not from the U.S., or just don't like football, feel free to cheat by finding a list of NFL teams on the web.

I'm off to bed, so Issy should feel free to start another quiz (if she is still awake).
If no one has #5 by tomorrow I'll post it.

issybird · 05-03-2012, 01:50 AM

I'm awake but supine and will be swamped tomorrow (as well as sleep-deprived), so I'd love it if someone else stepped up.

Hamlet53 · 05-03-2012, 06:59 AM

5. Chiefs

Daithi · 05-03-2012, 08:48 AM

Yes, indeed, it is Chiefs.

pdurrant · 05-03-2012, 12:29 PM

OK, a quick logical/mathematical one. (Thanks, Dara O Briain!)

A bank is implementing security on their main vault. There are four people authorised to hold keys for the vault, and the bank wants any three of the four keyholders to be able to open the vault together, but any two people must not be able to open the vault on their own.

What is the minimum number of separate locks the vault must have, and how must keys be assigned to the four key holders?

And the link being that they start and end with the same letter.

ETA: 3. eagle

All correct, including the link.

Nissan is correct. That's all of them answered correctly I think, the majority by issybird.

Sorry it took me so long - damn work interfering with my leisure time!

I'm not positive this is the minimum number locks and keys, but it does work--

Six locks with each employee receiving three keys.

Employee 1 has K1, K2, K3
Employee 2 has K4, K1, K6
Employee 3 has K5, K2, K4
Employee 4 has K6, K3, K5

No two employees have more than two keys that go to the same lock, so three employees are required to open all the locks. Plus no two employees hold all different keys.
