That was a guess. My REAL answer is 107.
No, you are all incorrect.
(The answer is 233.)
Explanation:
There is one bitch for the first year,
and then she has a baby at two years,
So at two years, there are two bitches.
Then the original bitch, has a baby in year three, but the other bitch doesn't have a bitch, because she isn't two years old yet.
So here is what we have so far:
Year zero: 1
Year one: 1
Year two: 2
Year three: 3
At year four, both of them have another bitch, and the third one isn't old enough to have a bitch yet. So that leaves the original, the second one, the second baby(which isnt old enough to reproduce yet), and then we have the baby of the second one, and the original has another.
Year four: 5
And it continues in this fashion.
Year five: 8
Year six: 13
Year seven: 21
Year eight: 34
Year nine: 55
Year ten: 89
Year Eleven: 144
Year twelve: 233
You use the fibonacci sequence(each number in the sequence is the sum of the two preceding numbers) to solve the problem basically.
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233
Which you all failed at...Some day you will remember this question, and ask it to your own fail-children.
Second question,
What is the name of Dante Alighieri's guide in the first two parts of his epic poem, "The Divine Comedy" ?
No math in this one.
Reward: 75 awesomeness.
