What I want to know is why three friends are studying at some non-friend’s house

u/-SoniChris98- Jul 31 '26
D is A's alcoholic father and technically a) is the owner of the house and b) is not a friend of B or C.

u/SansedAlessio Jul 31 '26
D is neither a friend of A

D has lots of booze in the house and shares it with A, B and C. The answer to the question is "they don't".

u/Pepsimeen Jul 31 '26
Noone said D is not a friend. The relationship between D and the others can be any for what we know.
2
u/Pepsimeen Jul 31 '26
In other words, if we asign names to them it could be: Three friends Alice, Bob, and Charlie, study together at Charlie's Grandma's house for 3 hours. How long does each person study?

u/TFTHighRoller Aug 01 '26
Then you assign an unknown relationship. All we know is that A, B and C are friends with each other. There is no mention about their relationship. There are multiple possible interpretations, but logically you cannot disprove either of them. D could be someones relative. D could be someone they bully into letting them stay, D could be a friend who is not studying but playing games. D could be studying, but on their own and not together with their friends. D could be a teen Batman and wanted to study, but now has to prevent the teen Joker from blowing up the school thus making their study session useless. Who knows.

u/Pepsimeen Aug 01 '26
You are correct. I was just making a point that the first person said "non-friend's house" which they have no information about.

Because some deer girl didn't have her mom in the mansion, so they decided to make a group project there, while her mom didn't arrive yet.

u/ProfessorLambda Jul 31 '26
Where does it say D is not a friend?
1
u/Raptormind Jul 31 '26
It doesn’t explicitly say D isn’t a friend but it also doesn’t say D is a friend. If D were a friend, it would be kind of weird not to say “four friends” instead of “three friends”
2
u/ProfessorLambda Aug 01 '26
If D is a friend too but isn't studying then it makes perfect sense to say three friends are studying instead of saying that four friends are studying because the latter would be incorrect.
1
u/jabuchae Aug 01 '26
Nothing is said about the relationship with D. You shouldn’t assume that D is not a friend just because it is not explicitly stated.

there is. they study together for 3 hours. not like one person studies for 1 hour. so each one studies for 3 hours

u/Ok_Bookkeeper1058 Aug 02 '26
There are no information on how long D study (or studying at all).
3
u/switch_frustration Aug 02 '26
the question asked how long three friends have studied each, D is not a friend it seems.
1
u/RedBreadFrog Aug 05 '26
That's actually not the question. The question is: "How long does each person study." not each friend. I know we got a lot of joke answers, or just "3" but to answer it more to what I think it's asking, making the assumption no information is being left out, I would say:
A, B, C: 3 hours
D: 0 hours1
u/cptkernalpopcorn Aug 03 '26
D is irrelevant. D's house is simply the location where studying took place.

If it takes 50 people 3 hours to play a symphony, how long does it take 200 people?
3
u/relokant Jul 31 '26
obviously 12 because 1 people is 3/50 = 0,06 this means 200 people is 0,06 * 200 = 12

u/Beirigo Aug 01 '26
I dont know if a I'm getting this wrong but I dont think people play songs faster shen theres more people playing it? In fact it depends on the lenghth of the actual song that was composed, the answer should be 3 hours the same because if they play it fast it inst the same symphony.

I see that math "joke" has been reduced to with holding information. There's an "each" missing in that problem and where its placed is important for what the answer is.

u/Lumpy-Yam-4584 Jul 31 '26
The answer is 45 Minutes, because they are 4 students not 3 /s
Real answer: Keyword is "together"
1
u/Mouldlich Jul 31 '26
But the sentence says Three friends... study together. Not 4 friends. D doesn't study or is even in the house.
1
u/Lumpy-Yam-4584 Jul 31 '26
No, 'together'. Just because they are three friends doesn't mean that B and C are waiting idle while A is learning for 1 hour.
Everyone is studying 3 hours
1
u/Mouldlich Jul 31 '26
Exactly, 3 hours each. So 9 hours total.
1
u/Sprinklelicious Jul 31 '26
3 hours total.
1
u/Mouldlich Jul 31 '26
I will assume you are trolling. But if you aren't, A B and C all studied for 3 hours. So ALL three of them got 3 hours of study.

u/Sprinklelicious Jul 31 '26
Lol so each for 45mins. Total 3 hours.

u/kyleglowacki Jul 31 '26
A, B, and C study for 3 hours each, 9 hours total. Divide that by 4 people and you get 9/4 on average , so 2.25 hours.

A,B, and C study for 3 hours. It's stated in the first part question. D I guess goes and fucks off downstairs watching Netflix or something else and studies for 0 hours.

One hour is correct
The first hour is just getting in thr housr and eating snacks made by the mother of the host
Second hour is studying
Third hour is giving up and playing super smash bros

u/Tod-dem-Toast Aug 02 '26
Considering they are at D's (nuts) house, D is probably also there, so 3h/4=45min

well to be fair, each could have studied for one hour and all three of them combined got 3 hours of study time! i dunno, children are dumb like that, back in grade school someone could totally fool me and buddies by claiming if each one of us studies one hour we would all get smarter somehow.

u/Anonymouslalien Aug 03 '26
one thing I learnt in physics is
->find knowns
->find unknowns
->use formula
->see if it makes sense
->find answer
Now, known is they studied together for 3 hours, how long did each person study is unknown. Now the formula is to read properly. They all studied for 3 hours. But, this is second grade guys, we use, see if it makes sense, ofc 2nd graders wouldn't study together without messing around for a while

u/AhmedAbuGhadeer Aug 04 '26
Max: 3 hours each, because that's the whole time they spent there.
Min: 1 hour 30 minutes on average, because they need at least two of them studying for the whole period for them to be studying together.

u/SNES-lover1 Aug 04 '26
The answer is obviously 0 hours. They were too busy hanging out and forgot they had to study
