2000-12-08 |
|
From David: Let us suppose some companies have collaborated to place several satellites in orbit. Let us call the set of all satellites that a given company helped place in orbit a network. Finally let us assume the following 4 rules. - There are at least two distinct satellites.
- For each pair of satellites there is exactly one network containing them.
- Each network contains at least two distinct satellites.
- For each network, there is a satellite not in it.
What is the least number of satellites. what is the least number of networks? Answered by Penny Nom. |
