Question
In the city of Funkytown, the following facts are true:
- No two inhabitants have exactly the same number of hairs.
- No inhabitant has exactly 483,207 hairs.
- There are more inhabitants than there are hairs on the head of any one inhabitant.
What is the largest possible number of inhabitants of Funkytown?
Good Luck!
Not sure how to use the html code but i think its infinite.
You'd think that, but not being able to have 483207 means that it would have to jump to 483208 which would exceed the number of people in the town this capping it at 483207.
