How can the water in a full 24-quart can be divided into three equal amounts using the 24-quart can and three unmarked cans whose capacities are 5, 11, and 13 quarts?
This problem actually has multiple solutions. In other words, there is no right way to solve it. It is more trial and error, with some strategic thinking. You simply mover water from can to can until you get the desired result. Here is what a possible solution would look like:
Congrats to anyone who solved it!
