    The document describes a code used by a doorman to control access to five secret meetings (A-E). For each meeting, three people are observed entering after the doorman provides a number and they correctly respond with the code. The code is deduced for each meeting based on the observations. For example, in meeting A the code is n/2, as the doorman's number is halved. The document asks the reader to determine the code for each meeting and use it to determine what number to respond with if the doorman provides a given number.
