That wasn't so hard.  What was Usagi whining about?

CORRECT!

Let's review the figures.

Pioneer Entertainment wants to release 3 different versions of each of the 3 "Sailormoon" animated features. That works out to 9 versions:

Version

Subtitled/Unedited1. Sailormoon-R2. Sailormoon-S3. Sailormoon-SS
Dubbed/Unedited4. Sailormoon-R5. Sailormoon-S6. Sailormoon-SS
Dubbed/Edited7. Sailormoon-R8. Sailormoon-S9. Sailormoon-SS

They want to release each version on 2 formats: VHS and DVD. So far that gives us:

9 versions x 2 formats = 18 items

"But the DVD version can hold 2 or 3 versions of the same feature."

Formats

VHS Videotape3. Sailormoon-R6. Sailormoon-S9. Sailormoon-SS
1 DVD with 3 versions10. Sailormoon-R11. Sailormoon-S12. Sailormoon-SS
A 2nd DVD13. Sailormoon-R14. Sailormoon-S15. Sailormoon-SS

So the maximum number of items would be 15 if it took 2 DVDs to get 3 versions of each feature and the minimum number of items would be 12 if 1 DVD can hold all 3 versions. A way to express this as a mathematical equation would be as follows:

3 versions x 3 VHS =9 items3 versions x 3 VHS =9 items
3 versions x 2 DVD =6 items3 versions x 1 DVD =3 items


15 items maximum12 items minimum

(But then you already knew that didn't you?)
