Identifying The Poisonous Glass!
What was the challenge?
Let's number the 4 glasses as 1,2,3 and 4.
Here are steps to identify the glass with poisonous liquid in it.
1. Empty the glass 1 into another empty glass.
2. Take about 1/4th liquid from glass 2 and pour it into emptied glass 1.
3. Take 3/4th of liquid from glass 3 and pout it into glass 1.
Now, glass 1 has 1/4th of liquid from glass 2 and 3/4th from glass 3.
4. Now put glass 1 and glass 4 on the measuring scale.
4.1 - If it weighs exactly 500 gm then it suggests that glass 1 had poison.
4.2 - If it weighs between 500 - 505 grams (precisely 502.5 if exactly 1/4th of liquid was taken from glass 2 to glass 1) then obviously glass 2 is with poisonous liquid.
4.3 - If it weighs between 505 - 510 grams (precisely 507.5 if exactly 3/4th of liquid was taken from glass 3 to glass 1) then obviously glass 3 is with poisonous liquid.
4.4 - If it weighs exactly 510 gm then it suggests that glass 4 has poison.
