We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
NUMEROLOGICAL NIGHTMARE
One of our clients who dabbles in numerology* was moving his staff into a new 2-story office building. Each floor had 8 rooms, arranged 3 to a side. (See diagram— stairwells and rest rooms occupied the central core.)
After consulting his charts, he ordained the following arrangement: each room must have at least one occupant, the offices on the second floor must always house twice as many employees as the offices on the first floor, and the number of employees in the 6 offices on each side of the building must always add up to 1 1 . The office manager placed the staff accordingly, but in the ensuing squabble over the corner offices, 9 hotheads quit. The office manager, afraid to tell the boss, managed by clever shifting and maneuvering to rearrange the remaining employees according to the original plan.
How many employees were there originally and how were they arranged? Ditto after the 9 quit.
For the answer to this one we'll send you our favorite numerological chart (sometimes known as a rate card) and a slim volume of puzzles.
