The Broken Eggs
POW # 1
1. Problem Statement: The problem in this POW is that there are eggs, that only fit in
groups [boxes] of 7. When places in groups of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, there is 1 egg left over. You
need to find out how many eggs there are.
2. Process: This problem took me about an hour, 15 minutes to solve, not including the
writing of this page. This was hard to solve because of there was 1 egg let over, not just a
remainder, any remainder. I also started having numbers only going up to the 50’s,
where the real solution was 6 times that. I made a lot of mistakes, and wasted a lot of
time on this problem. Here goes:
At first, I started with a multiplication chart with numbers 2-7. [Fig 1.] I then
made a chart where I took the chart in Fig. 1 and added 1 to every number. [Fig 2] As
you can see I skipped 7 because you don’t add 1 to those. [Continued on the next page]
