#LRDIoftheDay #27
In Isla Nublar, there is a tourist attraction known as the Jurassic Park. To strategize the marketing activities for the upcoming event regarding fresh species of dinosaurs, the board members sat around a circular table. However, the owner of the Park got stuck and so, could not arrive on time. To keep themselves entertained, the 10 board members viz. Ant-Man, Batman, Captain America, Deadpool, Electro, Flash, Groot, Hulk, Iron Man and Joker played a small game.
Each board member had a secret number in his/her mind and whispered it to both his neighbours. Then each board member announced a number that was the average of the two numbers whispered in his ears by his neighbours.
The table below gives the numbers announced by each board member and the neighbours of each board member.
