A milkman and a baker deliver to the same house.
In a period of 28days, the milkman calls every second day and the baker every third day. They meet at the house twice in the first 7 days.
How many more times do they meet during the 4 week period?

Impossible is Nothing.
Yoyo
I can see how they met after the first 7 days but I am confused about how they met twice in the first 7days? Is it they are starting somewhere in the middle? as in my diagram its only my day 7 and 13 when they meet twice in a 7day period.
Also what type of question is this?

This one has come up before on a few occasions - this was the most recent, and WP posted a very helpful diagram to explain it:

I wouldn't expect you to be able to find it though, Sherry - you have to know what you are looking for on the Forum fairly precisely when you do a search.
