G7 AND 8 (DIFFICULTY NORMAL): ALBERT IS TRYING TO FIND THE WORD HALLOWEEN, WHICH IS THE 773RD WORD IN THE OOXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY (HE DOESN’T KNOW THAT!). ALBERT HAS TWO FRIENDS NAMED BARNEY AND COOL. THERE ARE EXACTLY 9 WORDS ON EVERY PAGE. IF ALBERT CAN FLIP THROUGH 31 PAGES EVERY HOUR, BARNEY CAN FLIP 4 LESS THAN TWICE AS MANY PAGES EVERY HOUR, AND COOL CAN FLIP 83 PAGES EVERY HOUR. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR THE THREE FRIENDS TO FIND THE WORD THEY’RE LOOKING FOR? HINT: IT'S A WHOLE NUMBER, NOT A CRAZY FRACTION
