每周一題:房屋的號碼

今年Wraparound Close區(qū)的教區(qū)議會選舉競爭異常激烈。這條路的名字來源于連續(xù)的房屋編號“環(huán)繞”小區(qū)——從一側(cè)的起點的1號,到小區(qū)盡頭的死胡同的單個房屋,再回到另一側(cè),使得編號最高的房屋(小于100)正對著1號。
候選人Leah Valone知道她可以依靠她所在街道一側(cè)的每個人的選票。她的對手,Stan Doffish(與Leah正對面居住,房屋編號正好大45%)知道他那一側(cè)的每個人都會投票給他。唯一尚未決定選票的是Belle Wether,她住在路盡頭的一所房屋里。
Belle的房屋號碼是多少?
原文:
The parish council election for the Wraparound Close ward is fiercely contested this year. The road gets its name from the fact that the consecutive house numbers “wrap around” the close – from 1 at the start of one side, up to the single house at the dead end of the close, and back along the other side so that the highest numbered house (which is less than 100) is opposite number 1.
Candidate Leah Valone knows she can count on the votes of everyone on her side of the street. Her opponent, Stan Doffish, (who lives directly opposite Leah, with a house number that is exactly 45 per cent larger) knows that everyone on his side will vote for him. The only undecided voter is Belle Wether, who lives in the single house at the dead end.
What is Belle’s house number?
