Walking through a building, you overhear a conversation two people are having in a room: Person 1: I have written down a list of positive integers whose sum is the room number of this room. Person 2: If you were to tell me how many numbers were on the list and their total product, would I be able to figure out what numbers were on the list, given that I already know the room number we are in? Person 1: No, you would not. Person 2: Alright, I now know the total product of the numbers. What is the smallest room number they could be in?The "theme" might be a bit thin, but it wasn't any better in the original, and at least this makes it clearer.
