Haha okay guys, stop trying to read so deep into this. This is just a fucking HYPOTHETICAL situation. I just came up with those rules (18 and 36 breeding for example) to add some structure to the problem and to make it more difficult.

And every male can (and should, if you want to figure out the answer) have sex with every female in the other family that he isn't related to in some way. If they share the same aunt or are cousins for example, they cannot breed. Same goes for step-relations.

That means they can only have kids twice in their lives...
By your own rules every COUPLE is sposed to have kids TOGETHER twice in their life...
Does that mean that every individual can have kids only with 2 others?

I may have confused myself there...all the above disregarding the rule of no interbreeding...We're taking that for granted...I'd really like to try and figure this out if you could gimme some info!!!

Dun take me wrong...all the above is subject to mistake...I'm no mathematician..
In order:
-Because I said they could! If you really want a reason, then they're too busy raising the children they have now to have any more until their current ones have matured.

-You're on to something there Olympian, I can't really answer this without giving it away.

Good luck, and I'll probably post the solution later tonight or tomorrow.
Caruso329 Reviewed by Caruso329 on . I came up with an awesome math/logic problem stoned. I came up with an amazing and really interesting (in my opinion) math/logic problem tonight while smoking a bowl and buzzing on a 30mg extended release adderall. Here it is, try and figure it out and if no one can after awhile I'll post the solution. Suppose for some reason that the entire population of humans is nearing extinction. There are 4 humans left alive, all unrelated to each other. 2 males, and 2 females, all 18 years old. They are told to repopulate the planet without any Rating: 5
