Ulat Buku

Seekor ulat buku

makan buku menerusi
sepanjang ensiklopedia
yang mempunyai 10
jilid buku. setiap jilid
mempunyai 1000 muka
surat. ulat berkenaan
mula makan dari kulit
buku hadapan jilid
pertama dan berakhir
pada kulit belakang
ensiklopedia yang
terakhir. Berapa
banyak mukasurat ulat
buku itu telah makan?

Solution:
Assuming that the
encyclopedia is
ordered in the usual
way, the row of books
starts with the back
side of part one and
ends at the front side
of part ten. If the
bookworm starts at
the front cover of
part one it does not
has to go through part
one anymore, but
starts immediately in
part two. The worm
follows the red way
until part nine. Then
the worm is on the
back side of part ten.

So the the bookworm

eated from 8000
pages.
