Friday's questions/task.......I know MATH SUKS but today's task is a mini scavenger hunt/math problem. I'm looking for a number. You can get this number by starting out with the year "One Particular HArbor was released. Add to that number the number of Margaritaville Cafes there are. Take that number and divide it by the number of men in the current Coral Reefer Band (Not including JB). Take that number and add the number of listed tracks on the "License to Chill" cd. Take that number and subtract the number of red stripes on the lighthouse that appears on the cover of "A Salty Piece of Land." First correct answer wins.

ok, someone splain to me why I get 260!? Who else figured this one out?

starting out with the year "One Particular HArbor was released=1983
Add to that number the number of Margaritaville Cafes there are=9 ?
(http://www.margaritaville.com/contact_cafes.php)
1983+9=1992

Take that number and divide it by the number of men in the current Coral Reefer Band (Not including JB)=8

1992/8=249
Take that number and add the number of listed tracks on the "License to Chill" cd.=16

249+16=265
Take that number and subtract the number of red stripes on the lighthouse that appears on the cover of "A Salty Piece of Land."=5

265-5=260

First correct answer wins. NOT trying to win, but what am I doing wrong?
Math Suks and my brain hurts.

I only see 7 cafes...so there is a difference of 2

And aren't there 12 members in the band?

buffettbride · Post by **buffettbride** » January 28, 2006 5:14 pm

I can see why it would be confusing thought...

1 Key West
2 New Orleans
3 Orlando
4 Las Vegas
5 Myrtle Beach
6 Cancun
7, 8, 9 Jamaica: Montego Bay, Negril, Ocho Rios,

And would the Air Margaritaville at the airport in Jamaica be considered as well? Hmmmmmmm.

The question was the number of men in the current CRB.

BahamaBreeze · Post by **BahamaBreeze** » January 28, 2006 5:27 pm

Ahhhh...good point.

Even so, there is a big difference between 210 and 260...

Ok, I can't find 50 between the 2 answers....

Clairbert can you please post you formula. A calculus major I am not.
