This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

He had short term memory loss. His wife had died earlier, but he just remembered it.

Also, since we have assumed that he has this disability, we can go on to say that the man was mentally ill and his wife was fictional. Stuff like that. $\infty$ possibilities.

The man had visited his wife in hospital. She was on a life-support machine. As he was walking down the stairs all the lights went out. There had been a power cut and the emergency back-up systems had failed. He knew that she had died.

The wife was with him and died after tripping down the stairs and landing flat on her face. She could not move although she did slide down all the remaining steps.

Both the man and his wife worked in the painting buisness. They were painting the walls of the building . The man was painting the inside of the building room and his wife was painting on a crane or was hanging . The man came down for some work and saw his wife fall.
