Jim decided to start a chain letter in order to form a pen pal club.
First he prepared a list of names.
second he sent this list and a letter of introduction to three relatives.
thirdly each relative then sent off a letter of introduction to the person whose name appeared at the top of the list,crossed that name off the top of the list and added his or her name to the bottom of the list.
fourth each relative then sent the list off to three friends who repeated the process.
the names on jims original are as follows
con,julian,nadia,shelley
1)how many lists are sent out with cons name on the top?how many letters therefore does con receive.
2)how many lists are then sent out with julians name on top?how many letters therefore does julian receive?
3)how many letters of introduction did julian , nadia, shelley recieve?
4)What is the number of letters received expressed as a power of three for julina,nadia and shelley
Suppose that jim had palceed 8 names on his original list
how many letters of introduction would the the eight person on jims list recieve?
if the recipient of the list was recquired to send the list to five friends instead of three,how many letters of introduction would the sixth person on jims original list recieve?
