Seating Arrangements

I have the ticket for seat # 50 \# 50 on an airplane. There are 100 seats on the aircraft arranged as in the diagram below.

Is my seat by the window, in the aisle, or in the middle?

The location is determined by the remainder after dividing by 6 6 .

Since 48 = 6 × 8 48=6\times8 , that is it is divisible by 6 6 , the remainder obtained when 50 50 is divided by 6 6 is 2 2 .

Counting from the left to 2 2 takes us to middle seat .

What a divine way of solving the problem !
