Answer / guest

The man drunk 190oz of water.

It is given that the man has 20oz bottle of sprite. Also, he
will drink 1oz on the first day and refill the bottle with
water, will drink 2oz on the second day and refill the
bottle, will drink 3oz on the third day and refill the
bottle, and so on till 20th day. Thus at the end of 20 days,
he must have drunk (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ..... +18 + 19 + 20) =
210oz of liquid.

Out of that 210oz, 20oz is the sprite which he had
initially. Hence, he must have drunk 190oz of water.

In the middle of the confounded desert, there is the lost city of "Ash". To reach it, I will have to travel overland by foot from the coast. On a trek like this, each person can only carry enough rations for five days and the farthest we can travel in one day is 30 miles. Also, the city is 120 miles from the starting point. What I am trying to figure out is the fewest number of persons, including myself, that I will need in our Group so that I can reach the city, stay overnight, and then return to the coast without running out of supplies. How many persons (including myself) will I need to accomplish this mission?
