Условие

With what rate [34] should Karlsson eat jam not to get thinner during the flight? [35]

Note [34]

Original Russian «сколько варенья должен съедать Карлсон» should be understood in dynamic sense: “kilograms per minute of flight.” The Slovak, Hungarian, 1989 English, both Czech and 2006 English translations provide a literal translation “how much jam.” There is particular confusion among sources in spelling the name of Astrid Lindgren’s Kalsson, with examples as Carlson ([RMF 1990], [TMF 1996]) and Kalson ([Kluiber 1996], [Proc 2006])

Note [35]

An additional phrase explaining that “Traditionally, problem No. 17 has a humorous tone” is present in [Kvant 1988] but removed in [MGU 1989], and in the following 1990 Czech and Slovak texts. English translation [Jordens 1989] puts emphasis on the solution itself: “Usually the solution to the problem number 17 has a humorous angle.” The 1996 Czech and the 2006 English texts specify that Karlsson (spelled Karlson) comes from an Astrid Lindgren’s story and read, “We hope that you understand the solution of this problem by humor point of view”
