No, I don't mean an armed forces veteran who may live on a hill with a pet alligator, but a mad scientist who studies animals.


He has invented an animal transforming machine. If you put in two deer or two alligators, then one alligator comes out of the machine. If you put in one deer and one alligator, then one deer comes out.

1. Can the vet end up with only one deer (and no other animals) if he starts with three deer and one alligator?


2. For which collections of starting animals is it possible for the mad vet to end up with only one deer?

Easiest way to end up with NO Gator is let some ******* on a message board know about it :congratulatory:

1. Yes

2. Gator + Gator = Gator, leaves you with 2 Gators and a Deer. Gator + Gator = Gator. Gator + Deer = your one Deer left.

***SPOILER ALERT***




The key is the number of deer in the set. Is it even or odd? In one case, you end up with a single alligator and the other case you end up with a single deer. The number of alligators in the starting set is irrelevant.






Note: Zero is an even number.
