The Puzzle
Cold weather makes some of us want to huddle inside under a blanket sipping hot cocoa. Others hit the gym. Here are the workout times from last week for some of our most enthusiastic scholar-athletes.
Professor Oerlemans worked out for 49 minutes on Monday, 48 minutes on Tuesday, 46 minutes on Wednesday and 47 minutes on Thursday. Professor Casey worked out for 45 minutes on Monday, 44 minutes on Tuesday, 42 minutes on Wednesday and 43 minutes on Thursday. Professor Buchman worked out for 53 minutes on Monday, 52 minutes on Tuesday, 50 minutes on Wednesday and 51 minutes on Thursday. And Professor Shuster worked out for 59 minutes on Monday, 58 minutes on Tuesday, 56 minutes on Wednesday and 57 minutes on Thursday.
These workout times have an interesting Hamilton property. The winner of the puzzle will figure out the property and thus be properly impressed with our faculty’s coordination.
