Chapter 9, Problem 91H
“Dalmatian Darnation,” by Kathy Sparling
A greedy dog breeder named Spreckles
Bred puppies with numerous freckles
The Dalmatians he sought
Possessed spot upon spot
The more spots, he thought, the more shekels.
His competitors did not agree
That freckles would increase the fee.
The’ said, “Spots are quite nice
But they don’t affect price;
One should breed for improved pedigree.”
The breeders decided to prove
This strategy was a wrong move.
Breeding only for spots
Would wreak havoc, they thought.
His theoty they want to disprove.
They proposed a contest to Spreckles
Comparing dog prices to freckles.
In records they looked up
One hundred one pups:
Dalmatians that fetched the most shekels.
They asked Mr. Spreckles to name
An average spot count he’d claim
To bring in big bucks.
Said Spreckles, “Well, shucks,
It’s for one hundred one that I aim.”
Said an amateur statistician
Who wanted to help with this mission.
“Twenty-one for the sample
Standard deviation’s ample:
The’ examined one hundred and one
Dalmatians that fetched a good sum.
They counted each spot,
Mark, freckle and dot
And tallied up every one.
Instead of one hundred one spots
They averaged ninety six dots
Can they muzzle Spreckles’
Obsession with freckles
Based on all the dog data they’ve got?

Students have asked these similar questions
There is another surprising way of characterizing the ged. For two numbers a and b, we
think about all the numbers you can get by adding multiples of a and b together. We can
imaging this by thinking of a and b as dollar values of bills and then asking what prices can
paid with them. For example, if your country only issues a 6 dollar bill and a 14 dollar bill,
can you buy something that costs 10 dollars? Yes - you pay with two 14 dollar bills and get
three 6 dollar bills back in change. Can you buy something that costs 15 dollars? No - all the
bills are worth an even number of dollars so there is no way to get an odd net transaction.
Formulated more abstractly:
Let S(a, b) = {na + mb : n, m e Z}.
Problem 0.1. If c is a common divisor of a and b then c|s for all s E S(a,b)
Problem 0.2. If s e S(a, b) then gcd(a, b)|s.
Problem 0.3. If s e S(a, b) then sx e S(a, b) for all a € Z
Problem 0.4. If S(a, b) = Z if and only if 1 E S

Problem 0.5. The set S(0,0) is {0}. For any other a and b…
