back to boardHints (+) {just use 3 shortint} Hi I had solved this problem with just 3 shortint... It so easy look other messages in this problem to understand what is happening! All you need is: dec(n,n mod y); where y is that K[i]`s which described in problem. nothing is special for this problem... With best Wishes Aidin_n7@hotmail.com Re: Hints (+) {just use 3 shortint} This way is so incredible! Could you explain why it's correct and what does this problem mean? Thanks. Re: Hints (+) {just use 3 shortint} Obviously, distance between cop and robber can only decrease. If cop cannot overtake robber at current stage(if L >= k[i]), so new min distance in the best case for policeman will be equal to (minimum amount of trams)*k[i]. And minimum amount of trams is L mod k. For instance, L=7, K=3, so policeman will miss at least 2 trams: robber will reach tram stop, wait at most 3 mins and go away. Policeman will miss next tram, and he should wait another 2 mins before next tram will come. So, new L = 2*K = 6.
