Congratulations to all the bounty winners! Bounty payout will be when the post pays out.

Here is a puzzle, let's see if you can solve it.

I enjoy puzzles, especially logic or math puzzles. This is one that i came up with years ago. Let's see how many can solve it.


If an average movie is 90 minutes long...

and there are 24 frames per second...

and one frame is equal with one ‘picture’

and a ‘picture is worth a thousand words’,

and a book on average contains 250 words per page,

and a book on average contains 224 pages,

Here's the question you must answer:

According to the criteria above, how many books would it take to print the film "Star Wars: The Last Jedi"?

Let me know your answer in the comment section.


Correct answers will be upvoted before post payout and you will receive a portion of the bounty!

  • No upvote required (but appreciated)
  • No resteem required (but appreciated)

Learn about Steem-bounty here.

80% of the bounty is distributed according to the votes from the bounty creator. If the creator votes for more than one comments the relative %-age of the vote determines the distribution. In other words, bounty creators vote with their %-age sliders. This is to allow the bounty creator to disperse most of the bounty and give him or her a very simple way to select how much to give to each contributor.

20% or the rest of the bounty is determined by votes of everyone else that voted on the comments. The weight of each vote is hereby determined via the "rshares" or the effective vote values as they are displayed by steemit (those $ amounts you see next to the votes).

Contest is finished after 7 days. First correct answer receives a 100% upvote and a (large) share in the bounty. second answer gets 80%, then third gets 60% and so on.

If no one gives the correct answer, everyone who guesses (or calculates incorrectly) receives a 20% upvote and a share in the bounty. Guess away! You'll do better grabbing a calculator... there is an correct answer.

With a run time of 152 minutes it works out to 3908.57142857142 books as per the criteria above.

Let's find out... in seven days! @ironshield

After seeing @weetreebonsai's second answer I'm more confident in mine, but sad I missed it by 7 minutes.

I forgot to mention, second answer gets 80%, then third gets 60% and so on. @ironshield

Ya can't change the rules mid stream fella.....

Wikipedia says Star Wars: The Last Jedi is 152 minutes long. With that considered, my answer is 3908.57142857.

Thank you for participating! We'll find out after the post expires. @ironshield

Thanks for organizing the contest @ironshield. It was a lot of fun.

If busy did not have a notification feature, as steemit does not have one, I would never notice that you mentioned me here!!!

3908.5714 books. I am the fourth, if correct...

Nice Puzzle hahaha

My maths: 3909 Books and 30 Pages.

This sentence made me suspicious, ‘picture is worth a thousand words’ i hope this is not a tricky puzzle xd

Greetings.

One (1) book, is all it took.

Thank you for participating! @ironshield

Congratulations! Your submission earned you 0.019 SBD from this bounty. You have received 0.000 SBD from the creator of the bounty and 0.019 SBD from the community!

At a runtime of 152 minutes the calculation is:
152 * 60 * 24 * 1000 / 250 / 224 = 3908.5714285714285714

So from a pure mathematical standpoint the answer is 3908.5714285714285714.

But from a practical standpoint, since fractional books don't exist, it would be 3909 books.

But though a picture is worth a thousand words, our imagination can conjure up so much from each word/sentence/paragraph, truly it only requires one book to print the film "Star Wars: The Last Jedi".

So the counter question is: how many pictures is one word worth? :)

Seems like sound logic... we'll see once the post pays out! @ironshield

Congratulations! Your submission earned you 0.005 SBD from this bounty. You have received 0.000 SBD from the creator of the bounty and 0.005 SBD from the community!

It will take 3909 books. That would be a lot of books to read, better to just watch the movie ;)

Interesting guess. It's more than one book. @ironshield

3908 books, rounding down to the next whole book...

152 minutes x 60 seconds per minute
9120 seconds x 24 frames per second
218,880 frames x 1000 words per frame
218,880,000 words / 250 words per page
875,520 pages / 224 pages per book
3908.57143 books, but no one does .57143 of a book, but adding less than one word per each of those 3908 books isn't going to cause too much of a problem.

I like how you show your work! A+ Is it correct? We shall see at the end of seven days! Thanks for participating! @ironshield
