MHB Unravel the Mystery: 5 Different Rooms, 5 Different Dimensions

AI Thread Summary
Art, Ben, Cam, Dan, and Ern each added a unique room with specific dimensions. Art's room is not the shortest but shorter than at least one other room. Ben's room is one foot longer than the WORKSHOP, which is not the widest and shorter than at least one other room. The STUDY is shorter than two other rooms and narrower than Cam's room, while Dan's room is wider than the UTILITY room and not the shortest. Ern's room is longer than the widest room and shorter than at least one other room, with the DEN specifically measuring 11 feet wide. Ultimately, the clues lead to a unique identification of each room's type and dimensions.

Have fun:

Art, Ben, Cam, Dan and Ern each added a different kind of room to his house.
Each added room can have a width of 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 feet,
and a length (not necessarily respectively) of 15, 16, 17, 18 or 19 feet.
From the clues below, determine the kind of room each man added as well
as the width and length of each room.

1: The room Art added is not the shortest, but is shorter than at least one other room.

2: Ben's room is one foot longer than the WORKSHOP; the WORKSHOP is not the widest room,
but is shorter than at least one other room.

3: The STUDY is shorter than at least two other rooms, but not as wide as Cam's room.

4: Dan's room is not the shortest, and is wider than the UTILITY room.

5: Ern's room is longer than the length of the widest room,
and shorter than at least one other room.

6: The DEN is 11 feet wide.

7: At least two rooms are shorter than the BEDROOM.

Before I lose it!
Art: bedroom, 14 by 17
Ben: den, 11 by 19
Cam: utility, 13 by 15
Dan: study, 12 by 16
Ern: workshop, 10 by 18
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
