Awesome logic. Thanks a ton. If you don't mind could you post a few difficult problems that could be solved using this method? Just hoping to get a good hang of this method.

Cheers

Hi knight247,

I'm very reluctant to post more questions that require this solution strategy, since I firmly believe that they're beyond the scope of the GMAT.

I have posted one more question (at https://www.beatthegmat.com/tricky-count ... tml#407327) with the strong proviso that it is beyond the scope of the GMAT.

Cheers,
Brent
