@ htross ;bcz  for the 6 bells  there is a gap of 5 intervals (1--
2-- 3-- 4-- 5-- 6)

 12   3  45  (intervals)

so for the 5 intervals it takes  30 sec
similarly for  12 rings  we have 11  intervals  so we get  66 sec for that

nice prakash.  Algorithm is definitely better than brute force.  But
here is brute force anyway, just go from 2 to square root of n ;P

I initially misread it and thought you were asking for ANY {c,d}  set
in which c,d are factors of n  (but not necessarily c*d = n)  .  That
wouldve been all of the factors  (12) ,  choose  2, unless I am
mistaken. 12 nCr 2 = 66.

#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
#how many unique sets {a,b} can be formed if a,b are factors of N and
axb=N
#  N = 24*33

n=792
#factors = [2,2,2,3,3,11]

#results
res=['1x792']
2.upto(Math.sqrt(n)) {|c|
next unless (c&1).zero? || c%3==0 || c%11==0

@Priya: If 2/3 of the games is 20, then the total number of games is
30. Since 3/4 of 30 is 22.5, to win 3/4 of those 30 games, the team
must win 23. That means the team can lose no more than 7. Since the
team already has lost 3, it can lose up to 4 of the remaining 10
games.

If the moves had been 3 km east, 5 km north, and 9 km east (instead of
8), the answer would have been 13.
