nadeemshafi9 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hello Guys A question was put forward to me by an interviewer and i was quit baffled. If you have a container that can hold 4 litre and one that can hold 9 litre, how do you get 6 litre's exact. You are not allowed to hold any units outside the two containers. I have solved parts of the problem. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orio Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Fill the 9, pour to the 4 until top. Now you have 5 in the 9 and 4 in the 4. Empty the 4, and pour from the 9 to the 4 until top. Now you have 1 in the 9 and 4 in the 4. Empty the four and pour the 1 liter that is in the 9 to the 4. Now you have 0 in 9 and 1 in 4. Now fill the 9 and pour into the 4 until it fills and walla- you have 6 in the 9. Orio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
