ROSECODE 211
Subsets
Let S be the set of numbers up to 40. S={1,2,..,40}
Note the following subsets:
S1 is the prime numbers in S.
S2 is the semiprime numbers in S.
S3 is the all other numbers of S.
Now consider 4 subsets all with 4 distinct numbers.
A is a subset of S1.
B is a subset of S2.
C is a subset of S3.
D is also a subset of S3 but C and D are disjoint.
Find the number of A,B,C, and D subsets such that
- they all sum to the same number
- the smallest element of A < that of B < that of C < that of D
Example:
A={5, 19, 23, 37}
B={6, 14, 26, 38}
C={8, 12, 28, 36}
D={16, 18, 20, 30}
5+19+23+37=6+14+26+38=8+12+28+36=16+18+20+30=84
5 < 6 < 8 < 16
This counts as one solution.
