Question Number 21686 by Tinkutara last updated on 30/Sep/17
I have 6 friends and during a vacation  I met them during several dinners. I  found that I dined with all the 6 exactly  on 1 day; with every 5 of them on 2 days;  with every 4 of them on 3 days; with  every 3 of them on 4 days; with every 2  of them on 5 days. Further every friend  was present at 7 dinners and every  friend was absent at 7 dinners. How  many dinners did I have alone?
