adiagr, thank you for posting the link.

acethegmat, PLEASE do not post new threads for which there are already threads on the forum.
this goes especially for verbal problems, which should not be hard to find on the forum -- you should be able to type in almost any string of words from the problem, within quote marks, and quickly find related threads.
it's more understandable when people post duplicate threads for math problems, since many math problems have no obvious search terms (if, for instance, the problem statement contains nothing but equations, inequalities, and variables). however, please try harder to find existing threads on verbal problems.

please click the link kindly provided by adiagr above. the answers to your questions are probably on that thread (there are currently 25 posts). if your answers are not on that thread, then please post any remaining questions ON THAT THREAD (not here).

thanks.
