P.D.:7

Next I made a number chart for the numbers 1 – 50.[Fig. 3]

#1-50

[Fig. 3] Number Chart 1 - 50

I then copied that chart down, and I made a few changes. [Fig. 4] I first tried to

delete all of the numbers found on chart 2 for numbers 1 – 50., (which were all that

existed on that chart at that time.) I then stopped because I realized that those were

numbers which the solution was one of those numbers, not a number which the solution

was not. I then did the chart and copied all the numbers over. I realized the answer had

to be a multiple of 7. I than made all of multiples of 7 green. I then underlined all of the

numbers that were in chart 2 on chart 4. I then looked to see which were both underlined

and green. I then boxed in those numbers. I also deleted all of the number before 7,

because they couldn’t be correct.

#1-50

[Fig. 4] Number Chart 1 – 50 with underlines and boxes

Thinking the number was less that 50, I then made new chart to test if those boxed

numbers were correct. [Fig 5] I put a 1 if you could subtract 1 from the number, and

have it divide in the number above in bold. This also meant that when you divide the

number, you get 1 left over. If that condition was not met I put a 0. I also employed the

conditional formatting in Microsoft® Excel. This feature made every 0 I wrote red, and

strikethrough. I also made the multiple of 7 red, some of the times. I found that none of

those answers were correct. This chart is the key to my way of solving this problem, but

I then made some more changes, which didn’t bring me anyware.

POW’s
