Puzzle: Bring Me Exactly 7 Cups Of Water
Friday, January 20th, 2006
I will give you two containers…
One holds exactly 3 cups, and the other holds exactly 5 cups.
I want you to go to the river and bring me back exactly 7 cups of water using those two containers.
The containers are not measuring containers, they have no markings. All we know is that they hold exactly 3 cups and exactly 5 cups.
You can’t estimate either. You must bring back exactly 7 cups of water.
How do you do it?
(The answer will be posted in the future)
