The Pirate Cafe

Answers only = NO CREDIT
wp7-21
Jose and Erica run a restaurant called "The Pirate Cafe" on an old ship in the middle of the bay. Each night they serve dinner to people who take a ferry out to the ship. Jake runs the ferry service and takes reservations for dinner.
The old ship doesn't have a radio or a phone, so Jake uses the bank of lights on the pier to tell Jose and Erica how many people are coming. The bank of six lights is arranged in a straight line.
	F  E  D  C  B  A
	0  0  0  0  0  0
If light A is on, one person is coming. If light B is on, two persons are coming. If light C is on, four persons are coming. This pattern continues for all of the lights. If lights A and B are on, three people are coming. If A and C are on, 5 people are coming; B and C show 6 people; A, B and C show 7; and just D alone shows 8 people are coming.
Suppose lights D, C and A are on--how many people are coming? What about lights F, E, B, A? How would Jake say that 23 people are coming? What about 35 people?
Using their current system of light, what is the largest quantity of people Jake could show? Suppose they added two more lights--what is the largest number Jake could show then?
This is a two-credit assignment.
