Basic Math

[KeerthyRajagopal]

An elephant, a tiger and a deer live in a huge forest. the deer stays in one particular region closer to a lake. the tiger keeps roaming the different regions and visits this place once in 3 months and stays there for a month. The elephant also keeps roaming and visits this place once every 4 months. A set of migratory birds flamingoes visit the lake during winter and stay the entire December there. a set of migratory swallows visit the lake every summer and stay there in the month of May. Now is the month of November 2022 and the elephant and the tiger are here.
1. When will the elephant, tiger and deer meet again?
2. When will the elephants meet the deer again?
3. When will the elephants and flamingos meet?
4. When will the tigers and swallows meet again?
5. When will the flamingos and swallows meet?

Never I'm afraid, the lake's been drained and a shopping complex built on it.

Since it doesn’t say how long the elephant stays who knows!

[Peter Pedant]

yeah the lake has drained as a result of climate warming and they are all dead

So.... make a time line - - - - -- - ( and mark in the months, NDJ,Fb,Mar etc. I consider the DEER is always there and can be discounted

make four rows, first E ( for elephant,) Make an arrow for a visit in nv,mr, au, nv ( do one year first)
Tiger - put in a square for Nov and then every three m - I think there are two blank squares for 'every three months staying a month
F row - flamingoes just have one square in Dec ( next month)
S row - just one square, May

and then you read the 1question and line up the arrows

too idle to do this myself
