FUN QUESTION: 10 cookies are kept in a jar. You have to distribute it to 10 children such that each gets a cookie. How will you distribute it if after each child gets a cookie, there is still one cookie left in the jar ?

Parth (parthkohli):

;-)

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

Wait there are 10 cookies, and each kid gets a cookie, but there is still one cookie left?

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Do you distribute the jar or the cookies or both?

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

Well its basically not a mathematical ques, lets call it an IQ ques.

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

Well there is only 1 jar! And we distribute the cookies.

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

My brain hurts. I'm going back to do some Markov Inequality proofs lol

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

hmm..

OpenStudy (kropot72):

I would cut the leftover cookie into 10 pieces and give one piece to each child. Then I would keep the magic jar.

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

Does one child put back a cookie?

OpenStudy (opcode):

How about... You give out 10 cookies to all children... Then you take a cookie from the shelve and you place it into the jar :O Or maybe you're on of the children and you keep your cookie in the jar?

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

:D lame logic! -_-

OpenStudy (opcode):

Why make things over complicated? :3 There could be infinite reasons for why there's one cookie left in the jar :D

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

hmm, my expression at the moment is exactly like your display pic! :3

OpenStudy (opcode):

Pure shock? Is it because I'm so awesome? :D Just kidding :P

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

Come-on woman, think harder! :P

OpenStudy (opcode):

Okay. How about: You give the first nine children a cookie. Then you give the tenth child a jar with the cookie inside the jar?

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

exactly! :D

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

congratulations

OpenStudy (opcode):

YAY! I had two other possible choice left tho :D
