<p>Anyone remember the question about the dog’s weight and length?? Something like the difference between the Weight and 3/4 the Length must be less than 5? I think I put 40 as one possible length/weight, not sure…</p>
<p>I meant going past the origin, meaning into quadrant III. (Not <em>thru</em> the origin)
Since the radius was a whole number (10), it couldn’t have passed directly thru the origin bec the distance couldn’t have possibly been a whole number given the center of the circle.
Therefore, it’s 4 whether it went into quadrant III or never went into quadrant III. So the only check was whether it went thru the origin. And that seems right that passing thru the origin would count as 3 intersections.</p>

I don’t know. IF the order didn’t matter the answer is ONE, if it did matter, the answer is EIGHT. We will have to see…I wish I could just read the problem again to see if it mattered or not.</p>
<p>It had a line going like this -----------------> With arrow at the end
With A-D from left to right, so I’m fairly sure the arrow implied that D would be greater than the others…</p>
<p>i am almost positive i remember there being a diagram with abcd on the line with d furthest right, therefore it would have to be 8 since they are all positive integers</p>
