Make it 50-50 in Two!

You have three jugs:

A 10-liter jug, filled with water
A 7-liter jug, empty
A 3-liter jug, empty

Your objective is to end up having 5 liters of water in the 10-liter jug, and 5 liters of water in the 7-liter jug.

Note that you have nothing else at your disposal other than these three jugs and that you cannot perform measurements by eye or based on the shape of the jugs.




THIS is how it can be done!

4]  Pour Jug C into Jug B.      A : 4    B : 6    C : 0

5]  Pour Jug A into Jug C.      A : 1    B : 6    C : 3

6]  Pour Jug C into Jug B.      A : 1    B : 7    C : 2

Would You Help This Farmer ?

A farmer had 25 cows. To identify easily he numbered them from 1 to 25. Interestingly, each cow produces liters of milk equal to the respective number given. For example, a cow numbered 5 gives 5 liters of milk or a cow numbered 18 produces 18 liters of milk. Now that farmer had 5 sons. Farmer wants to share those 25 cows among his 5 sons with each son getting 5 cows. But he wants to make sure each son would get equal amount of milk.

How should he make 5 groups of cows to distribute among his sons?

Fair Distribution of Farmer's Cows


What was the interesting?

First let's name 5 sons as A,B,C,D & E. Now look at the image below.

Just collect numbers surrounded by same shapes. If you observe carefully answer, a difference of 4 created at one place which is compensated at other 4. Each son would be getting 65 liters of milk.
