[QUOTE="Shira, post: 2357090, member: 282342"] 500 people stand in a line all with thier palms face up every person's palm's changes its status, so they are all facing down now every other person's status is changed now every third, ect when you get to every 500th person's status is changed, how many hands are facing up? i tried solving this, and i have a hint: you only have to find up to 250 people, and then take the number you currently have, subtract from 250 and add it to the number you have figured out the answer is not obvious like 500 or 0, or 250. its an actual logic problem. i didnt figure it out, but i want to see if you guys will [/QUOTE]
