As I wrote, at least one metal has to be reused in the cycle and then the only solution is for silver to contain brass. Just try it for yourself, come back to the problem a couple of days later if you get stuck. Also, perhaps this depiction in a graph just doesn't work for you? | |

Setting either Z=steel or Y=silver means again that X=gold and we have the same problem. Y=brass implies Z=steel with yet again the same result. | |

It is easy to see that X cannot be silver or steel and Z cannot be gold or brass . But, I am unable to figure out further. Request you to please explain how you found the values of X and Z . | |
