I have a circular necklace with $18$ beads on it. All the beads are different. Making two cuts with a pair of scissors, I can di

vide the necklace into two strings of beads. If I want each string to have at least $6$ beads, how many different pairs of strings can I make?

Solution:

There are four general types we can make: (6,12),(7,11),(8,10),(9,9).

First type: (6,12), there are 18 possible ways to choose those 6, which are going to be cut from the necklace: choose a direction to count the beads, and choose a starting position (between 2 beads). There are exactly 18 starting positions, since there are 18 spaces between the beads. One cut is equivalent for a pair we can make.

Second type: (7,11), with the same reasoning, there are 18 possible ways to cut the necklace.

Third type: (8,10), with the same reasoning, there are 18 possible ways to cut the necklace.

Fourth type: (9,9), The same reasoning cannot be applied again, since half of the cuts would be exactly the same as the other half. So there are 9 possible cuts, exactly one or each axis of symmetry for the necklace.

The solution will be the sum these values: 18+18+18+9=63

For 12 people it would be 2 liters of soda, 1 pint of sherbet, &3 cups of ice. you wanna make half as much as his recipe says so just divide everything by 2. then you can multiply what the half recipe calls for to serve 36 people by three. so it would be 6 liters of soda, 3 pints of sherbet and 9 cups of ice. I hope that made sense to you, it was kind of hard to out the explanation into words
