  • Answer

(Mathematicians A to Z) Below are the names of 26 mathematicians, one for each letter of the alphabet. Your answer to this question should be a subset of {A,B,⋯ ,Z}\{A, B, \cdots, Z\}, where each letter represents the corresponding mathematician. If two mathematicians in your subset have birthdates that are within 20 years of each other, then your score is 0 . Otherwise, your score is max⁡(3(k−3),0)\max (3(k-3), 0) where kk is the number of elements in your subset.
