Let's talk about *real* puzzle now! :) This is bit rigorous, but quite an interesting puzzle. And yeah....the question is right! I checked few times. :-D Here it goes: ==== Ram and Shyam sit down for the final round interview at a reputed firm in New York. To distinguish one from the other between these two equally competitive gentlemen, the interviewer agrees to give the job to the guy who first answers his puzzle. There is no time pressure. Interviewer: The rectangle I am thinking of has integer sides, each of which is greater than one inch. However, the perimeter of the rectangle is less than 80 inches. (Then, he whispers the total area to Ram and the total perimeter to Shyam. They are not allowed to tell what they just heard. ) Interviewer: What are the dimensions of this rectangle? After thinking for a while: Ram: Dyam!!.…I have no idea what the perimeter is. Shyam: I knew you were going to say that. However, I don’t know what the area is. Ram: Still no clue as to the perimeter…. Shyam: But now I know what the area is! Ram: And I know what the perimeter is! Now, you tell me what are the dimensions of that rectangle? ------
