The Haybaler Problem
In The Haybaler Problem we were trying to see how much each bale of hay weighed, and if there is more than one answer. There were 5 bales of hay in total, and when put together they would equal 80, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, and 91.
So I decided to start doing guess and check like this: A+B=80 and then substituting numbers like 39+41=80. I did it like this because I needed to come up with at least one number to start off. I tried different numbers like 39, 38, 40, and 37. After about a week of doing this we came up with an idea in class to pick a range of numbers which were between 34 and 46 and did the problem. My number was 38 and didn’t end up working but one of the other numbers did which was 39. There is not
