in a certain game played with red chips and blue chips, each red chip has a point value
of X and each blue chip has a point value of Y, where X>Y and X and Y are positive
integers. If a player has 5 red chips and 3 blue chips, what is the average (arithmetic
mean ) point value of the 8 chips that the player has?
(1) The average point value of one red chip and one blue chip is 5.
(2) The average point value of the 8 chips that the player has is an integer.

X=1, Y=9
X=5, Y=5

Both of the above satisfy both conditions. Hence, E

Not a good idea for me to mess things up a day before D-Day! I completely missed the X>Y part in the question. Son of a $@$%&
