AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the meeting schedules of five cultural groups—literary, dramatic, musical, dancing, and painting—starting from January 1, 1975. Each group meets at different intervals: literary every other day, dramatic every third day, musical every fourth day, dancing every fifth day, and painting every sixth day. In the first quarter of 1975, all five groups met on the same day only once, which was March 2, 1975. Additionally, there were 24 days in the first quarter when none of the groups met, starting from January 2, 1975. The year 1975 is noted as a non-leap year, which simplifies the calculations regarding the meeting schedules.

My club has five cultural groups. They are literary, dramatic, musical, dancing and painting groups. The literary group meets every other day, the dramatic every third day, the musical every fourth day, the dancing every fifth day and painting every sixth day. The five groups met on the new years day of 1975 and starting from that day they met regularly according to schedule.
Now, can you tell how many times did all five meet on one and the same day in the first quarter? The new years day excluded.
Also, were there any days when none of the groups met in the first quarter, and how many?

well 1975 is not a leap year and some more things abt multiples solves a lot of headaches ... boy i am too tired right now to do any calculations ... :/
 
there was one day in which they all met on March 2, 1975.

Including Jan. 2, 1975; there were 24 days in which no group met.

If I understood the question correctly.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
