THE SKIDOO PROBLEM

A coin collector had an accu-'

of the entire lot if he would put
them in boxes, the same number in

8, There was an odd number of
pennies, so that if he put an equal
number in each of two boxes there
would be one penny left over; in
a like manner he figured on 8, 4, 8,

II, 10, IS, 20, FL and 20 boxes, but
