- Alice is thinking of a positive real number x , and Bob is thinking of a positive real number y . Given √ √ y y that x = 27 and ( x ) = 9, compute xy . Proposed by: Sean Li √ 4 Answer: 16 3 Solution: Note that √ √ √ √ y y y y 2 y 27 = ( x ) = x = ( x ) = 81 , √ √ √ √ 4 4 4 4 / 3 so y = 4 / 3 or y = 16 / 9. It follows that x = 27 or x = 9 3. The final answer is 9 3 · 16 / 9 = 16 3.
