Is Sup Forums smart enough to do well on the (((GMAT))) and get into a top (((MBA))) program? Shekels are at stake.
You have 109.75 seconds on average to solve this problem, known as a data sufficiency question. Read the directions, then time yourself on how long it takes you to come up with your answer.
>Directions
This data sufficiency problem consists of a question and two statements, labeled (1) and (2), in which certain data are given. You have to decide whether the data given in the statements are sufficient for answering the question. Using the data given in the statements, plus your knowledge of mathematics and everyday facts (such as the number of days in July or the meaning of the word counterclockwise), you must indicate whether:
(A) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
(B) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
(C) BOTH statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked, but
(D) NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
(E) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked, and additional data specific to the problem are needed.

>(C) BOTH statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked, but >(D) NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
Sorry, should be:
(C) BOTH statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
So
>A (statement 1 by itself YES, statement 2 by itself NO) >B (statement 1 by itself NO, statement 2 by itself YES) >C (both statements combined YES, either by itself NO) >D (either by itself YES) >E (not enough information)

No, he caught less than 9. If he never caught more than 12 in one day than it would be impossible for him to catch 9 or more on Tuesday and then 4 more than that on Wednesday

No. He had to have caught 8 fish on Monday and Tuesday and then 12 for each of the following days.
I needed both statements to come to that conclusion so I'd say C.

Read the instructions. It's a Data Sufficiency type. You have to answer it in terms of A-E, in other words is the first fact alone sufficient? Is the second one alone sufficient? Are both combined sufficient? Is either one by itself sufficient? Do we not have enough information?

What? It's a trick question. It's impossible. >each day of last week starting monday So we exclude sunday, meaning 6 days of fishing. And we know he finished with 76 total. >never caught more than 12 fish in a single day Given this, the MAX number of fish you'd end up with is 72. 6 days * 12 fish per day max. This fulfills the requirement of each day catching more or equal to the number of the previous day.
You literally can't get 76 from the information given, max possible is 72. Trick question, niggers

I can't be assed to analyze other people's problems anymore. I just don't give a fuck.
