Answer:

No solution

Explanation:

The reason why I say this problem has no solution is due to the fact that it says only one person may go on Saturday yet some fraction of the people between the numbers 1 - 14 can go. We have no idea what this fraction is, leading to a paradox of multiple equations and guesses desperately trying to figure out the number. Thus, the problem has no solution.

Hope this helps.
