By assigning Ant = 4, Cockroach = 3, Grasshopper = 7, and Wasp = 1 we find 1 possible solution of "3 Wasps." This is what I finally got. Even though nobody helped. Let us face this question Let us have something other. This is known as story in a Caravan
This story concerns a caravan going through the Sahara desert. One night they pitched tents. Our three principle characters are A, B, and C . A hated C and decided to murder him by putting poison in the water of his canteen (this would be C ' s only water supply) . Quite independently of this, B also decided to murder C , so (without realizing that C ' s water was already poisoned) he drilled a tiny hole in C ' s canteen so that the water would slowly leak out. As a result, several days later C died of thirst. The question is, who was the murderer, A or B? According to one argument, B was the murderer, since C never did drink the poison put in by A, hence he would have died even if A hadn' t poisoned the water. According to the opposite argument, A was the real murderer, since B ' s actions had absolutely no effect on the outcome; once A poisoned the water, C was doomed, hence A would have died even if B had not drilled the hole. Which argument is correct?
