Ok I'll return to the classics. Anyone know about:
"Ik si chidda, ik si pidda, ik si main" ?
I'll translate from Punjabi to English
Chida and Pida had a fight over a bucket full of milk. The bucket weighed a total of 8kg.
They had 3 containers. The bucket - holding 8kg, A big canister holding 5kg and then a water bottle holding 3 kg.
Chida and Pida came to "mein" (me) to solve their problem and divide the milk equally four each. How do I solve their problem?
8kg container (full)-------------5kg Container (empty)--------------3kg container (empty)
8kg container (5kg)-------------5kg Container (empty)--------------3kg container (3kg)
8kg container (5kg)-------------5kg Container (3kg)--------------3kg container (empty)
8kg container (2kg)-------------5kg Container (3kg)--------------3kg container (3kg)
8kg container (2kg)-------------5kg Container (5kg)--------------3kg container (1kg)
8kg container (7kg)-------------5kg Container (empty)--------------3kg container (1kg)
8kg container (7kg)-------------5kg Container (1kg)--------------3kg container (empty)
8kg container (4kg)-------------5kg Container (1kg)--------------3kg container (3kg)
8kg container (4kg)-------------5kg Container (4kg)--------------3kg container (empty)
So both chida and pida will take 4 kg each.
