 * Nope, mine's longer :) (you'll have to wait until next Wednesday to find out what mine is). --SkizzerzTalk - Contribs 16:12, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

I thought satin at first, but guess not, since the one above isn't longer than yours. Baejung92 19:03, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

Going clockwise from the $50: $50 -> $5 -> $10 -> $2 -> $100 -> $1 -> $25 -- Prod (Talk) 20:25, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Gee, so much for THAT puzzle. Lasted a whole 20 minutes. --SkizzerzTalk - Contribs 20:35, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Heh, the straightforward logic puzzles are easy :P Now, that previous puzzle was just evil >_> -- Prod (Talk) 20:56, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Glad you liked it! I try my hardest to make them (or get them from such random sources that there is no way one can simply get the answer via a google search) :P --SkizzerzTalk - Contribs 21:07, 6 June 2007 (CDT)

2 and a half numbers in each square, is this right?--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 14:09, 13 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Disregard that.

Rocky kept posting while I was trying to! Hehe, anway, cut the 18 into two 10's horizontally. Then cut vertically to seperate the 1's and 0's to create a total of 7 in each section.-- Duke Ruckley  14:12, 13 June 2007 (CDT)


 * However, Rocky's is dated first on the sig time, so better luck next time :P Oh, and Rocky, don't delete that image, I need it for my archive. -- 15:03, 13 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Actually, take that back, Dukeruckley got the right answer. The total should be "7", not "21/2". -- 15:04, 13 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah, I realised that as I had to get away :(--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 00:36, 14 June 2007 (CDT)

Well, I'm assuming you'd just fill the 2/3s cup one either by filling and pouring the 1/3 cup twice, or filling the 1/3 cup and dumping it into the 1 cup, and then filling the 1/3 cup again, dumping it into the 1 cup, and pouring the 2/3s of water from the 1 cup. For the 1/2, you fill the 1 cup up, then pour the 1 cup into the 3/4 cup until you fill it up, leaving 1/4 cup in the 1 cup. You can pour the remaining 1/4 cup into the 1/3 cup for temporary storage (assuming you properly mallocated the 1/3 cup), then you dump the 3/4 cup and fill up the 1 cup again, and pour it into the 3/4 cup until it's full. Then you have 1/4 in the 1/3 cup, and 1/4 in the 1 cup, totalling 1/2. :P Procyon (Talk) 14:05, 9 August 2007 (CDT)

Too late I guess, stupid 5 minutes.

For the 2/3 cup, just full the 1/3 cup twice and pour it in.

For the 1/2 cup, fill the 1 cup, then pour 3/4 of it into the 3/4 cup. Pour the remaining 1/4 into the 1/3 cup for storage. Empty the 3/4 cup and then again, full up the 1 cup, pour 3/4 into the 3/4 cup and then pour the 1/4 that was in the 1/3 cup back into the 1 cup so you have 1/2. Empty it into the oatmeal bowl for the 1/2. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 14:10, 9 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Yep, both right ^_^. I got the idea from a person that I was chatting with on IRC, who just had that dilemma about 20 minutes ago. Unfortunately for you, Notmyhandle, Procyon beat you to it. Better luck next time. -- 14:17, 9 August 2007 (CDT)

You people are a bunch of water wasters, here's a more efficient method. For the 1/2 cup, fill the 1 cup, empty into the 3/4 so that 1/4 is left. Pour that into the 1/3 cup for storage. Pour 3/4 cup back into 1 cup and top off the 1 cup with more water. Empty another 3/4 into the 3/4 cup so that 1/4 still remains in the 1 cup. Use whatever is in the 1 cup and the 1/3 cup since that adds up to 1/2. Empty the 3/4 cup back into the 1 cup and top off the 1 cup again. Fill up the 1/3 cup and you will have 2/3 still left in the 1 cup. Net wasted water: 1/3 of a cup. It saves at least 1 pouring if you don't worry about storage or saving water as well. -- Prod (Talk) 15:22, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

Do you mean every day that the servants didn't keep it properly? I'm having a bit of trouble understanding, sorry.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 15:56, 11 August 2007 (CDT)


 * None--the servants would have kept the accounts, not the master. Baejung92 16:41, 11 August 2007 (CDT)
