Most of us know that 1 o v e r = 6 b a l l s 1\quad over\quad = \quad 6 \quad balls

Now let x x be the unknown value, i.e, x o v e r s x\quad overs

Therefore, x o v e r s = 1 b a l l x\quad overs\quad = \quad 1 \quad ball

Or, x = 1 × 1 6 = 0.1666..... x\quad =\quad \frac{1\times1}{6} \quad = \quad 0.1666.....

Your solution is more descriptive . So surely you deserve a huge Upvote from me? Now cheers!!!

6 B a l l s = 1 O v e r 1 B a l l = 1 6 O v e r s = 0.166 O v e r s 6 Balls= 1 Over \\ \rightarrow 1 Ball= \frac{1}{6} Overs \\ =0.166 Overs

Just a funny trick. Like Virat Kohli plays with the bowlers!

I just finished typing my solution, when yours came up!

BTW, It was a very tricky question . . .

@Sravanth C. EEe.... Just call me Arif . No extension like sir is required.

Because we preserve these extensions for our teachers- Calvin Lin, David Mattingly.

By the way, you're so humble. And a genius- 'cause you're only 14, and your problem solving is just amazing.

You deserve it.

That's Brilliant's rounding up issue. I submitted 0.166 as the answer. So 0.166, .166, .17, 0.17 are all accepted entries. No worries, you solved the problem, that's what matters ☺
