How to solve Puzzle 087?
For puzzle 87, you need to work out how many people can ride the Ferris wheel in a given length of time.
There are 10 two-seater cars attached to the fair’s Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel turns so that one car rotates through the exit platform every minute.
The wheel began operation at 10 in the morning and shut down 30 minutes later. What’s the maximum number of people that could have taken a ride on the wheel in that time period?
The puzzle is telling you that it’s going to be shut down after 30 minutes. What happens to anyone that’s still on the wheel after those 30 minutes?
I suppose you wouldn’t want anyone to be trapped on the wheel!
What are the hints for Puzzle 087?
Hint 1
You may think all you have to do is add a few things up, but there’s a trick to this problem that’s easy to overlook.
Think about the way Ferris wheels have to work. If two people catch the first ride of the day, how much time will pass before they get off the ride?
Hint 2
If the wheel has to stop promptly at 10:30, then the operator won’t allow anyone on who can’t get off the Ferris wheel by 10:30.
So what does that mean? It means that when two passengers step out of their gondola at 10:30, all other gondolas on the Ferris wheel should be empty as well.
Hint 3
The first pair of people to board the Ferris wheel at 10:00 will get off the ride 10 minutes later. Since the ride itself takes 10 minutes, no one will get off until 10:10. Then, from 10:10 until shutdown at 10:30, people will get off the ride at a rate of two per minute. Calculate the number of people coming off the ride and you’ll have your answer, but be careful, because it’s easy to make a mistake.
Puzzle 087 Answer
A maximum of 42 people can ride the Ferris wheel.
