While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • The Highpointers Club is a hiking club.
  • One of the main goals among club members is to reach the highest points in all fifty US states.
  • Those who achieve this are called 50 Completers.
  • In Suk Han became a 50 Completer on November 15, 2013.
  • The highest point in West Virginia is Spruce Knob, at 4,863 ft.
  • The highest point in Colorado is Mount Elbert, at 14,440 ft.

[ADDED MISSING DATA: x = 5, y = 10, etc.]
A
Hikers aiming to count themselves among the 50 Completers must reach not only West Virginia’s Spruce Knob but also the even higher peak of Mount Elbert in Colorado.
B
Not until after you have reached the highest points in all fifty US states—including Spruce Knob in West Virginia and Mount Elbert in Colorado—can you include yourself among the 50 Completers of the Highpointers Club.
C
If you are looking for a new hiking challenge, consider joining the Highpointers Club, as did In Suk Han, a hiker who successfully reached the highest point in every US state.
D
On November 15, 2013, In Suk Han finally completed the feat of reaching the highest point in all fifty US states, including Spruce Knob in West Virginia and Mount Elbert in Colorado.
