Question
please sir
can you group numbers from 1 to 50 in groups of fives with all making an appearance in each group.
                       thank you.

Answer
Dear Obed,

I do not fully understand your question. What conditions, if any, are placed on the group formations? For instance, is repetition allowed.

What is the size of each group?
What do you mean by "all making an appearance in each group"? How is this possible? If a number is put into one of the five groups, it cannot appear in another group, can it?

I'm off for the weekend. Please write back next Monday, with some clarifications.

Thanks for the question.

Expertise

When I work through problems, I like to emphasize concepts which I believe are worth noting. I will try to answer questions in the following areas, but not at the advanced level. Algebra. Sequences & Series. Trigonometry. Functions & Graphs. Coordinate Geometry. Quadratic Polynomials. Exponential & Logarithms. Basic Calculus. Probability, Permutation and Combination. Mathematical Induction. Complex numbers. Physics problems.

Experience

I have worked as a teaching assistant in college. My hope is that more people will share knowledge without boundary, give help without seeking recognition or monetary rewards.
