How do they divide the gift in such a way that each sister gets the same amount of wine and the same number of crates, without transferring wine from any crate to any other crate? That one's quite simple unless I've misunderstood it. Start by giving each sister 2 full crates. Then give one sister a full crate and an empty crate. Give the other 2 sisters 2 half-full crates. That leaves three half-full crates and six empty crates that you divide equally among the three. Each sister gets 3½ crates of plonk, 7 crates apiece and no wine was transferred from one crate to another. Or have I missed something obvious? |
