Challenge - Chick Fil A¶

You decide to invest in a series of billboards along interstate 10 to advertise your stylish new chicken restaurant, Chic-fil-A 🐔.

  • You buy three billboards evenly spaced starting from mile marker 17 and ending on mile marker 28.
  • You buy another three billboards starting on mile marker 32 and ending on mile marker 36.
  • In order, from mile marker 17 to 36, your billboards display these ads: A, B, C, C, B, A.

Determine how far each B ad is from your restaurant which is located at mile marker 30.

# ads / restaurant*:   A     B     C   *   C  B  A
# billboards:        --|-----|-----|---|---|--|--|--
# mile markers:       17          28  30  32    36
