Mr. Dengklek is teaching his duck to write the English alphabet. The rules are :
1) A letter only can be written 26 times.
2) The lesson will be finished if all of the letter are already written 10 times.
What is the maximum number of letters that can be writen by Mr. Denglek's Duck?

That is not Pigeonhole Principle, but yes, the rest of the solution is complete.
same
pigeon hall ftw!
We can write from A to Y 26 times...it means 25*26=650 Then when Z is written 10 times, then we can't write an more letters 650+10=660
How can a duck writing? The real answer is 0! THE BIG 0 ZEROOOO!!!!!!

That's why he's teaching :D

He's not Perry. So he can't writing

@Mu'amar Musa Nurwigantara – Oh yeah. I'm sorry, it's look like it, except he can write
betul. kampret jugaak wkwkw - _ _-
And then the duck says,"You got any grapes?"
Assume that the duck is stupid? But it can write in the first place! Idon't know about you but that's the smartest duck I've ever heard of! Besides, it's not even the pigeonhole principle...it's the duckhole principle :D
the rule is he will only stop writing if he wrote all the letter 10 times, so definitely, we will assume that he will wrote the first 25 letter 26 times, since it is the maximum.
2 5 ⋅ 2 6 = 6 5 0
then finally, add the last 10 times of the last letter,
6 5 0 + 1 0 = 6 6 0
the duck can write 25 letters 26 times and the last letter 10 times. so, 25x26+10 = 660
Its pigeon's hole question. Assume after teaching a lot and the duck is really unlucky to write 26x for consecutice first 25 alphabet (26x25=650) then for last alphabet the duck write the minimum value of the requirement to finish the "bad luck teaher's lesson. Which is 10. So the max letter that can be written are 650+10=660 .

Use the pigeonhole principle
Assume that the duck is stupid and it writes all the letters 26 times, that is the maximum.
BUT the last letter it writes can be only written 10 times because the duck has written all 25 letters more than ten times, and for this letter, once he writes it the tenth time the lesson ends
