Welcome Kassar to the game, you believe "TWO" is the smallest number of additional ingredients must be used with J, what are those two?

Kassar Alzabadi said...

Hi Amira,
Yes I think 2 is correct, it said:
'If J is used, both K and P must also be used' but if you think that my answer is not correct I can change the number to 3? or 4? you just tell me and I'll answer :)

Amira said...

Kassar, you are right about the first condition “If J is used then K & P must be used” but what about K? Is there any condition that should be apply??

Dear Amria,
There is no '4' in the options you've got, therefore I choose '5' since it's the closest and I really want to know what is the dish? Is it Mou7ammara, Yalanji, toshka or Basmashkat????

Dear Nagham,
You already got the privilege of being the 'Member of the Week' 17 times, leave something to the poor Mr. Kassar, 7aram, have mercy and stop being greedy.....

Amira said...

Kassar, why you think 4 is the correct number?

Kassa Alzabadi said...

Hi again Amira:
I think 4 because:
J needs 2
and K needs 2
2+2=4,
where is the 4?
Please tell me about the dish, I'm so hungry :)

Amira said...

Great calculation Mr. Kassar.

However, you need to read the question one more time and please focus on the words “Additional ingredients”.

"Additional" tells you that J is not included in the calculation.

In this game the chef is prepare the sauce only, you have to wait another week for the dish to be ready.

Is there a dinner or something that I'm invited to as a prize for my outstanding mathematical thinking in solving this difficult quiz?
