Question 5
Sanjana wants to put 64 apples into some fruit bowls. Each bowl can contain at most 6 apples. What is the minimum possible number of bowls that contain the same number of apples?
Interpret “minimum possible” as follows: group nonempty bowls by their number of apples, and make the largest such group as small as possible. All 64 apples must be placed, with whole apples in each bowl. The original wording is ambiguous; it does not ask for the minimum total number of bowls.
