Problem Statement

For any real number xx, let x\lfloor x \rfloor denote the integer part of xx; {x}\{ x \} be the fractional part of xx ({x}\{x\} == xx- x\lfloor x \rfloor). Let AA denote the set of all real numbers xx satisfying {x}=x+x+x+(1/2)20\{x\} =\frac{x+\lfloor x \rfloor +\lfloor x + (1/2) \rfloor }{20} If SS is the sume of all numbers in AA, find S\lfloor S \rfloor
