A Dinner Party

Scene:

The PROBLEM

John and Marcia given a formal dinner party for ten (including themselves) which is a number John always like because the host can sit at one end of the table and the hostess at the other, and still maintain the correct alternate male and female around the table. Marcia was trying to work out the seating.

Conversation…

Tom and Jean have not been here to dinner before so they are

the guests of honor. Tom must sit on my

right and Jean on your right, but I don't know how I want to seat the

others:

Well!!

I would like Janet on my left. I have a soft

spot for her. You can have

her?

but I will not have her husband Jack next to

me; I think he should be next to Mary Ann.

Since we do not place husbands and wives next to each other, this determined

the seating of everyone, including Howard's wife

Lois, and Mary Ann's husband Bill. Can you work

out the seating arrangement?

solution

Numbering the ten places around the table 1 to 10 as shown in the figure

below, if I take the head of the table (1), my wife

will sit at (6), Jean will be at (10), Tom at (5), and

Janet at (2).

Figure 1

Now Marcia will not have Jack next to her so he

must be at (9), because (3) would place him next to his wife. Since Mary Ann is next to Jack, she

must be at (8); then Howard must be at (7), Bill at (3), and Lois at

(4).

Figure

2

The problem is solve now. I no longer to think

who will sit beside me and another way

around.

Yes. You no longer

think who sit beside

me.

This is the end :)
