020 - Equal Opportunities

Detective Kent Dockland is questioning Hillary Black about the recent break-in at her offices.

"Can you tell me a little bit about your business?" he enquires.

"We're a consulting firm," says Hillary. "We mostly do work for Logidyne Labs, a research and development company."

"And how many people are employed here?" asks Kent.

"Well, each male worker has one fewer female co-worker than he does male co-worker," says Hillary, "and each female worker has two male co-workers fewer than twice the number of her female co-workers."

"Thank you, ma'am," says Kent. "That's very helpful."
