Answer:
36.5
Step-by-step explanation:
If you take 16 and devide by 2 and add 13 you get 21 then do the same thing to 21 and you get 23.5 then lastly do it again to 23.5 and get 36.5
20 seconds faster than Jesse so one minute and 57 seconds is my best guess.
Pairs, in this case, relates to a group of 2 or more. We have 6 friends. Let's call them A,B,C,D,E,F. This will allow us to make a [some sort of] combination tree:
1. ABC against DEF
2. ABD against CEF
3. ABE against CDF
4. ABF against CDE
5. ACD against BFE
6. ACE against BDF
7. ACF against BDE
8. ADE against BCF
9. ADF against BCE
10. AEF against BCD
I believe there are 12 combinations... I just can't think of the last 2 though.
