i love the quebec pet allowances they are so silly it’s like a riddle
Number of pets allowed
Usual limits
A total of 8 pets are allowed (among the allowed species), including the maximum permissible for dogs and cats.
Up to 4 pets are allowed, including a maximum of 3 dogs.
Examples:
- You can have 4 rabbits, 3 dogs and 1 cat.
- You can’t have 4 frogs and 4 dogs.
dogs ≤ 3
cats + dogs ≤ 4
others + cats + dogs ≤ 8
others ∈ Allowed Species
Not sure if
cats + dogs ≤ 4I read It asnot dogs ≤ 4I guess that your ruleset comes from the mention of
including the maximum for cats and dogsand maybe those are the only ones that are calledpetsbut 🤔Yeah, I’m very confused by the “8 pets are allowed” and “4 pets are allowed”, it reads to me like “You can have 8 pets as long as you have at most 4 pets” which obviously makes no sense.
It’s just badly translated. In French it clearly says maximum of 4 cats and dogs, of which a maximum of 3 dogs.
So it’s a trick maths question that actually requires you to know French and have seen these rules in it, seems legit
I dunno, I hadn’t seen them, nor do I know french. The second “pets” covering cats and dogs was the only way I could see the statements didn’t contradict.
“and these are my pet cats over here, and my working cats over there”
Also, fish do not count towards this limit.
Two cats, a dog, and sixteen full grown swordfish
Bluefin tunas will do nicely, too, they grow up to more than half a ton
Jesus, how much money do you think I make? Put the tuna back, we’re getting a guppy…
This gives me integer linear programming flashbacks…
That’s a good thing! right?
…right?
So I can have 12 cats if I have -8 dogs?
It’s quite heavily implied the above is only defined in ℕ
