A problem by Sumukh Bansal
A teacher says:
"I am thinking of two natural numbers bigger than 1. Try to guess what they are."
The first student knows their product and the other one knows their sum.
First: "I do not know the sum." Second: "I knew that. The sum is less than 14." First: "I knew that. However, now I already know the numbers." Second: "And so do I."
What were the numbers? Put [.] between the first and second number
The answer is 2.9.
