1. Old Spice wikipedia excerpt

Old Spice is a prominent American brand of male grooming products. It is manufactured for Procter & Gamble, which acquired the brand in 1990 from Shulton, Inc. Shulton, Inc., the original producer of Old Spice, was founded in 1934 by William Lightfoot Schultz. The first Old Spice product was intended for women, introduced in 1937. Old Spice for men followed in 1938.

The men's products were dominated by shaving soap and aftershave lotion, marketed with a nautical theme. Sailing ships in particular were used as a trademark. The original ships used on the packaging were the Grand Turk and the Friendship. Other ships used on Old Spice packaging include the John Wesley, Salem, Birmingham, Maria Teresa, Propontis, Recovery, Sooloo, Star of the West, Constitution, Java, United States, and Hamilton.

In an attempt to gain market share in the competitive bar soap business, a field sales rep after noticing the success of his colleagues holiday themed Old Spice "soap on a rope" sales approached the newly appointed P&G General Manager of personal soaps about launching a bar soap offering at a price point parity to market leaders. The idea of Old Spice bar soap was born in a sport and fresh themed offering. The items after a short window of time failed to obtain decent market share in the market and focus was turned to the profitable liquid body soap business that was experiencing a growth spurt yet had no real offerings for men. Old spice body was born and heavily supported by one large U.S. chain. Upon two years of sales success with minimal marketing spend, an agency approached for another brand in the P&G stable offered to draft the campaign of the brand they were approached provided they could work on Old Spice. The critically acclaimed and viral driven spots put Old Spice body wash and deodorant into a multi-year growth trajectory unequaled by many other brands. Throughout the 2000s, Procter & Gamble introduced many forms of deodorant, body washes, and body sprays in several scents under the Old Spice name. In early 2008, the original Old Spice scent was repackaged as "Classic Scent", both in the after shave and cologne versions.

The traditional white glass bottles gave way to plastic, and the grey stoppers to red. Old Spice Classic shower gel was sold using the slogan "The original. If your grandfather hadn't worn it, you wouldn't exist." Ironically, P & G has since discontinued selling "Classic" scent body wash and moved to selling multiple modern scents targeted to a younger demographic.

Oppgaven / The puzzle

Du bør nå være i stand til å svare på oppgavene under.
Hvis ikke har jeg følgende råd:

• Wikipedia - les nøye
• Video - her må du identifisere to NFL-lag ut i fra deres farger

[Eng]
You should now be able to answer the questions below.
If not, I have the following advice:

• Wikipedia - read carefully
• Video - you must identify two NFL teams based on their jerseys

nn = H + ( MM * cc ) - ( S + bb )

ooo = ( aa*X + aa*Y ) / ( ( aa*G ) / bb + G ) + ( G + H + W + J ) - ( ( W + J ) / aa )

ee = ( Z - Y ) / aa + T + ( L - O )

fff = ( ( Z*S ) / ( aa*aa ) - W ) / ( aa*cc ) + ( ( ( O - T + DD + MM ) * S ) / aa ) - cc

Wikipedia

• X = first old spice for women (year)
• Y = first old spice for men (year)
• Z = year for repackaging “classic scent”

Youtube

• G = Green team (total number of letters)
• H = Blue team (total number of letters)
