A case of SAP Spoilers can be divided equally (without cutting anything) among 2, 3, or 7 people.

What is the least number of SAP Spoilers the case could contain?

PM answers please.

There are two correct answers.

"The same as the answer to life the universe and everything."

or

"42"

and

'0' as I didn't neccearrly specify..

ok three, there are three answers... Nobody expects....

[tommyb]

[PBANDPKGTO]

PM'd but im pretty sure im wrong

Yeah me too.

[BackRoadGTO]

I think it's safe to assume I'm getting a point for this one.

Unless there's a trick, just a simple math problem.

Yar, I hope this one is as easy as it reads.

Simple math to some is crazy "How the smurf am I supposed to know?" to others. :)

[sxty8goats]

im pretty late, but can i still answer the SAP spoiler ?

if so, 42

Yep, until the question is marked closed and the answer is given, you are welcome to submit.

Easy, the answer to THE question (Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy)...42
42/7= 6
42/3= 14
42/2 = 21

No lower factor of 7 is divisible by both 2 and 3.

Weak, looks like I just missed the bonus points. Oh well, the extra 0.1 puts me solidly into 27th place! :shiner:

0 cannot be an answer, it can't be divided by 2,3 or 7. Also, a case of SAP spoilers with no spoilers in it is just a case.

Bzzt, wrong. Zero can be divided. You cannot divide by Zero.

Ah dang it, I guess thats what happens when you become a powerpoint engineer and don't use math very often.
...I still stand by my second point that a case with 0 spoilers is just an empty case of nothing.

I do agree with that but.. An empty case can be equally divided among any number of people. For example, were it a case of soup each person would hear.

"NO SouP FOR YOU!"


and walk away sad and empty inside.

I don't like it but had to accept it. (and the one person who used it as an answer answered '42 or 0' so they had it covered.

Ah, that works.
