A theater ensemble group consisting of two male actors—Jeff and Kirk—and three female actors—Rena, Sara, and Tanya—plans to give a performance of a play that has exactly eight roles. Roles 1, 2, and 3 must be played by males; roles 4, 5, and 6 must be played by females. Roles 7 and 8 can be played by either males or females. Each actor must play at least one role, and the number of roles necessitates that some of the actors will play more than one role. The pairs of roles below are the only pairs that do not require the actors playing the roles to be on stage at the same time; appearances in these roles are spaced far enough apart to allow time for costume changes for actors playing more than one role.

Does your car insurance cover what really matters?
Not all car insurance is created equal. Minimum liability coverage may keep you legal on the road, but it often won’t be enough to cover the full cost of an accident. Without proper limits, you could be left paying thousands out of pocket. The right policy ensures you and your finances are protected. Check out Money’s car insurance tool to get the coverage you actually need.
